Episode Date: January 23, 2025

Gil's Arena Reacts To Shai Gilgeous Alexander CEMENTING His Case For NBA MVP as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Shai dropping a career high 54 points on the Utah Jazz and debate if the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar solidified his place as the NBA MVP favorite with this incredible performance. Next, they react to Draymond Green addressing the Jordan Poole punch on the Draymond Green Show, where the Golden State Warriors' enforcer asked the sports world to move on from the punch that destroyed a dynasty before launching into a debate over who will blink first on the stalemate between Jimmy Butler & The Miami Heat, heightened by the team's decision to suspend Jimmy once again. Then, Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew examine what has gone wrong with the Dallas Mavericks as the reigning Western Conference Champions have fallen to 4-11 in their 15 games without Luka Doncic, sparking a conversation over Kyrie Irving's ability to lead a team on his own and if this team is just a one year wonder after their NBA Finals appearance just last year. Finally, Gil's Arena whips through more trade rumors ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline and focus on new rumors surrounding Chicago Bulls superstar Zach Lavine and a potential reconnection between the Los Angeles Lakers & Lonzo Ball.

That's the tie you been on all week. But here is what's cracking in the arena today. SGA put up the first 50-piece in his career in the Thunder's win over the Jazz. Does the real MVP reside in OKC? Dallas is 4-11 in their last 15 games. Can Kyrie keep the Mavs afloat until Luka returns, or are they cooked? And the Kings are 10-2 under interim head coach Doug Christie.

We got audio versions available on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. So we're going to give the Thunders some love to start the show, specifically their MVP candidate. So the team with the best record in the West, the OKC Thunder,

took on the worst team in the West, the Utah Jazz, last night. So entering the game, OKC, of course, was heavily favored and blessed as well. Jay Gildas Alexander decided to give the home crowd a bucket-getting tutorial, putting up a career-high 54 points, easily eclipsing his previous career high of 45 points. SGA shot 17 for 35 from the field, went 17 for 18 from the free-throw line as well, also had 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. So SGA joined Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant as the only Thunder players with at least 50 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a game

since the team moved to OKC. SGA is the first Thunder player to drop a 50p since Westbrook, who did so back in 2017. Russ went on to win the MVP award that season. So SGA received MVP chants from the home crowd throughout the game last night as well. Let's enjoy this. You know, he normally give you that 35 and 5. He decided to put a little bit more on it with the Jazz coming to town. MLK week. We appreciate you, SGA. So we're talking about the MVP race.

Last year, SGA was Gills Arena's choice for MVP. Of course, did not win. But how far ahead is SGA of everybody else in the MVP race this season? Not that far. Ahead? You do know Nikola has four straight triple doubles, right? Oh, my God.

In three quarters, Kenyon, I do. I'm just saying, though, like... If he's ahead, okay, cool. But the fact that... I don't think he's ahead no more. The fact that this man, like... This man had four straight triple-doubles. He had to come out and do this.

It's not... And it's not even... This is a very necessary 54-point performance. You think he's gonna have to get a few more 50 balls? Nah, hell nah. He's gonna have to. Dude... This is... Nick... Yoke is just having a career season.

This man ain't slowing down. He had the same score last year. No, he's better. No, averaging about five more points. He's better. No, I thought SJ should have got it last year. Yes. I thought he played better than Nikola last year.

Yeah. I don't think he's playing better than Nikola this year. Way better. No. No, he's not. No. They never won. More team success.

I'm not rolling with that same shit. Individual. Joker do every year. Oh, yeah. Sounds good. Give've gave it to Dan Westbrook, like I've been saying. He did it. He got four straight triple-doubles right now. He did three triple-doubles straight three years in a row. Right. Well, yeah, they should've...

They should've acknowledged it more, and they didn't. They changed the fan like shit after the first one. Joker would become the first big to average a triple-double if he... We're not talking about these. We're talking about now. Triple-doubles is a triple-double. Thunder, 136 and 7, seven game lead in the Western Conference, Nuggets, sports. Triple-double if he's not talking about the triple talking about now is triple-double 36 and 7 7 game leave the weather

Is the narrative with Joker? We don't value winning anymore. We don't value winning anymore Everybody doing it. So oh we don't get the vote Better than he did last year, and he won it. They have to give it to him. I'm just saying. He's playing better than he was last year, and he won it. I've seen this before. Have you seen this before? Right now, Jokic is winning in the MVP race tracker at 63%. Shea is behind him at 28%, and there's no close second. It's going to be between those two. Why would it?

And if Jokic finishes the season averaging a triple-double, they're giving him the big one. Jokic had a 63% chance of winning. If he finishes the season. Joker averaging 13 points, 13.2 rebounds, 9.9 assists in 37 games. We round up here in the arena, so we give him them 10. No, no, no, no.

You can't give him 10. He going to get there. No, no, no. No, what I'm saying, you can't give him 10. No, not on this one. You can't have him. Win 80. Don't worry about it.

He going to get there. You got to get it. Flat out. He's going to get there. No, no, no. Yeah, of. He gonna get there. No, what I'm saying, you can't give him a 10 on that one. You can't have him. Don't worry about it. He gotta get it. Flat out. He's gonna get there. No, no, yeah, of course. He is gonna get there. Because at the end of the season, that's all he's gonna be looking to do. I watched him.

Listen, so you know, I didn't have to watch him play Philly the other night, but I'm like, I'm finna watch him play the Sixers. Because KJ not playing still. Yo, he no look. Yo, man. No looking, throwing lobs and shit. He act like he was gonna throw that bitch to the corner. I saw that.

Through Eric Gordon's lob. That pass was crazy. Yo, they in the zone. Brown cut back door. The tip, guide pass. Didn't even bring it, just guided the motherfucker to the boy. I'm like, yo. Oh, we never seen that.

Where's Embiid at? We never seen a tip pass lob. No. No. No. This nigga came full with a fat-ass nigga just running up and down the court making passes. And he can't stop him. He's in better shape than everybody in the NBA. He can't stop him.

He plays in Denver. He can't stop him. He plays in altitude. He works out and he plays in Denver. You want SGA to win or you don't want him? Everybody on that team is in better shape than everybody in the NBA. Joker, Joker, 30-13, 9.9 assists, SGA.

But I'm not rolling. SGA right now, 32 points, 6.1, 5.4 rebounds. Is it because you want SGA to win or you don't want Jokic to win? Let's see how they move. It's two different reasons. They both foreigners. Let's see how they move. They both have passports.

If I was in shape, I'd be getting slimmer and shit. I'm still the same weight as I come. What are you talking about? Junker, four straight triple doubles. He lost weight in three quarters. You know what Junker looked like before? Nick don't know. Nick just be fucking talking. Do you know what he looked like before?

He just be fucking talking. He's still big though. Of course he's out. Yes, he's a big, he's a center. He's a center. Yes, he's a big. Yes, absolutely. He said he gets slimmer. He's a center. Yes, he's a big. Yes, absolutely. He said he gets slimmer. And he's dominant.

Whatever. However he looked before and however he looked now, he won MVP looking that way then, and he won the new look. Nah, he ain't going to get it. He won it last year with his new look. He ain't going to get it this year, though. Okay, cool. So, Kane, to your point,

do you think SGA is feeling a little bit pressed right now seeing what Jokic is doing over there in Denver at four straight triple doubles andoubles, three-quarters? I'm saying, was this a concentrated effort to get him back on the map? Because that 50 piece is gonna catch some eyeballs. It took a lot of shots. Took 35 shots to get it, but I get it.

No, he... I'm... Yeah, maybe, yeah. The man got four straight triple-doubles. So, yeah, you could be feeling a little pressure. So SGA still has the best odds. He's minus 600 right now. Jokic second, plus 400.

How is he in second when he's number one in the whole NBA? His team is not... But he ain't got no other All-Stars. He's by himself. Yes, he does. Jalen Williams. Jalen Williams is the All-Star. All right. He's an All-Star this year. Absolutely. Okay. So who spot he taking? What he does. Jalen Williams is the All-Star. Jalen Williams is the All-Star. All right. He's an All-Star this year. Absolutely. OK.

So who spot he taking? What you mean? Jalen Williams. Why does he have to take someone's spot? He's an All-Star. Well, we got to take somebody in. The coaches going to vote him in as an All-Star. He's an All-Star.

Luka's out. Yeah, Luka's out. Is he? I'm saying Luka's out. Come on. I mean, he's not going to be in. So that's why he's out right there. But like I said, he's doing what he's doing with no other All-Stars.

He's an All-Star. Now? If he get voted, it'd be a first team. Right now, he's not. We don't know. He's an All-Star. He's number one by a landslide. Yogi's doing it with no All-Stars, too, Nick.

Shit. Yeah. Yes. He's doing it with no All-Stars. No All-Stars. Yes. Westbrook no All-Star? No, he's not in All-Star form. He used to be. He used to be. No All-Star. No All-Stars. Yes. Westbrook no All-Star? No, he's not in All-Star form.

He used to be. He used to be. Former All-Star. I mean, we're talking about somebody who's in All-Star. All right. All right, compare the teams. All you guys do is compare the teams. Maumarie never made All-Star.

Nah, he never made one. Compare the teams. Right now. Yeah, Nick, what you talking about? He's had no All-Stars. So Nugget's currently fourth in the West. Nugget's no Nugget. You got Gordon. You gotgets. You got Gordon.

You got Gordon. You got Gordon. Spit it out. What's on your mind? Hey, Gil. Spit it out. Nuggets have the best team. They got the best team?

Nuggets supposed to. They won championship with the same damn roster. So they. And where they bus spot then? That's what I'm saying. Okay. And that's all I'm saying. So now y'all care about winning?

You should. God damn. It should be about winning. That's what we'm saying. Okay. And that's all I'm saying. So now y'all care about winning? You should. Goddamn, it should be about winning. If I'm number one averaging 30 and nobody else on my team is a damn all-star, I got young players at 22, 23, and shit 20, and I'm doing what I'm doing, I gotta be all-star. Take me off that team, that team is fucking in the lottery for the number one pick next year. Take Joker off the Nuggets. I don't know.

You don't know what's... They in a better situation. You got Wes, you got Gordon, you got fucking Murray, you got... That's the better thing. And who gonna give them the ball? Who? Who gonna give them the ball? They need someone to spoon feed them damn near.

Thunder without... Nuggets. Chad Hologram, Isaiah Harkin. Who gonna be giving the ball now? Murray gonna... Jokic gives everybody the ball. Okay, so Murray can't do shit without Jokic. Now we just talking crazy.

Well, he's never been an All-Star, so I don't know. But he's a crucial player. He should have been. Shit, what he do in the playoffs, what he do in the league. Lexi, when you start doing that, just say, yeah, continue to move the goalposts. Like, continue to move that motherfucker. Hey, I'm very high on it. I really want SGA to win MVP,

but I think they should have given it to him last year. Because now... Your leg ain't that strong. You can't keep, like... Your leg ain't that strong. Hey, man. They should have given it to him last year. You love Joker. Don't mean... I said SGA should have got it last year.

He should get it this year. No, he should not. All right. Not as in, if you're going to do anything, it might be cold, but he's definitely not playing. He's not out playing to Cole. Has there been any Cole MVP? Once.

There can be no Cole. What year was that? I know it was rookie. It was Cole rookie of the year once. I know. J-Kid and Grant Hill got it. I feel like they gotta like wipe the slate clean. I think it might have been once, right?

Um. Be like, we gonna redo how we vote for the MVP, so y'all both going to get it, and we're going to get it right next year. No? No. You know, the only thing I hate about... Rookie of the Year, yes, I knew that. You know, when I asked someone how the voting goes,

I don't actually like it. I don't even actually like how they vote because there's no conversation. They all get in the room and they just send their votes in, right? Yeah, they get the ballots and then they just send it in and then they just calculate it, but there's no debate. There's no conversation. There's no, like, you know what I mean? Like, why are you?

Didn't we say earlier that they should, like, as the season goes on, shrink the list? Because you get first place, you get all the votes. You can vote for whoever you want. And that's the first round, and then... Yeah, first round, second round. When it comes to the final voting, it should only be three names.

There shouldn't be five, six, seven people down there. Because there's an idiot that's going to be sitting there voting for his favorite player or, you know, who he likes, and that's going to mess up somebody else's vote. No. Yeah. Here, take these motherfuckers off and just vote. But this should be having a conversation about this.

So betting odds right now, SGA the favorite, like I said, minus 600 odds. Joker second at plus 400. Giannis and Tatum both 50-1 odds right now. Yeah, because then somebody might have, like, a really good month or two, and then that recency bias kicks in, and then somebody will be like,

oh, maybe they should be in the MVP conversation when they haven't played well for the totality of the season. So I think they should, like, cut it down little by little. I don't like that there's no there's no control over it right you don't like you can it's rigged in a sense I'm just be honest I can I'm just talking for my I can literally pay find out who's doing it and pay them they're not gonna talk to each other yeah what stops you what stops the play from doing that what stops

organization from doing that sit there and throw these are the two throw fifty thousand to all of them just vote me number one like what the fuck are they gonna turn it down no they don't have any integrity yeah fuck do they cares not like anybody knows who's you know it's not like oh my god you voted for this like so you know let's go and with the oh my god, you voted for this like So, you know, let's go And but the motherfuckers on trial who right there all of them All right, everybody got their hands up who's going for your kiss raise your hand All right, SGA raise your hand and then calculate it from there

So about a hundred media members right tasked with determining the Why do they get some vote? Why do they get to vote? Because you're not watching everybody play. Exactly. You're not watching every game. You're not watching enough basketball to have an unbiased opinion about it. Like, you just don't watch that much basketball.

You're not. You're going to go watch some holidays. You're going to look at a stat sheet. You're going to see what he had at the end. And now you're going to see what his plus minus was. And then you're going to fucking base it on that. You're not going to see if he got double. You not gonna do you're not gonna value the game as the game That's what I said. It should be all computer-based at this point

Yeah, it'll all throw all the action everything inside the computer base and let it spit out like this How many, chat GPS. Guide us to the MVP, chat. I'm not a soul. I don't know. How many people on the East Coast, right, are watching West Coast games? They're not fucking staying up that late. Late as hell.

Not staying up that late. They're haters. Let that shit go in overtime. Yep. Or let, you have time. They in the sheets. Yep. They might turn it on, but they're not watching.

The game started 10 p.m., 10.30 on the East Coast. Yes, on the East Coast. I don't know. Who's staying up? I mean, there's a list of who votes. I know. Like, who's staying up that late? Like, how many big personalities actually have a vote? Like, Stephen A and them get a vote?

I'm pretty sure. Yeah, people at that college. Stephen A, yeah, Michelle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The way he be talking. Yeah, he definitely gets a vote, don't he? He be like, I'm going to call and shit. Who else gets a vote?

Perk got a vote also. Because some media members come out. 100 prominent either sports commentators on television or beat writers. But what the fuck do they know? Yeah, that just. I don't know shit. I would trust Kendrick Perkins over them.

But even with Kendrick, like how many games like... But I would trust... Living a regular life with kids and... It still exists. What we said still exists. But I would trust him, his vote... Yeah, I would trust... He would be unbiased. Would you trust current players to vote for MVP or do you feel like they would hate too?

Nah, they gonna hate. They gonna hate. No way. They't be biased. No way. They'll hate. Like I said, it's just one of those things where everyone has their favorites by nature, right? So it's just easier to put it inside of some system

and let it actually spit out the results. Because it's going to put in the good, the bad, all of it. It's not just going to put in what you want. Oh He did this, you know, it puts everything in games matchups Like Vegas, I mean Vegas what is theirs actually I'll trust Vegas. Yeah, so they got SGA My mother's right now. Oh Thank you very much So so look at it.

Vegas all use machine work. Vegas all use machine work. Nearly a host. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. So Vegas... That's crazy. Vegas use all machine work. Oh, he's with him.

All right. See? That one keep fucking with me. What happened? La hostra nostra. Yeah, so Vegas used all machine work, so it spits out who they think should win the MVP, so I trust them.

So SGA, minus 600 right now. Jokic, plus 400. Giannis Tatum, both 50 to 1 odds. Okay. See, they have it opposite versus... Victor Wamba Wamba, 100 to 1 right now in fifth. Oh, wow. So Vegas has a shake.

You say pluck, but can you trust? We've seen I Am Legend, Will Smith, not the I Am Legend here on this couch. Thank you. Can you really trust machines to do that, or will they flip on you? I trust them more than just a record. I mean, we can't even.

It's four bucks. I'm fucking my movies up. We can't come in. I Robot, one of those. If you put that shit in that system, I guarantee it's going to come out. We can't cut that. I'm a robot. One of those. When you put that shit in that system, I guarantee it's going to come out with Giannis. So I meant I-Robot. You put all the numbers in it.

Win, losses, and all that stuff. Yeah, you got to put in. Points, rebounds, assists. You got to put in win, losses, who you played against. I'm with you. All of it. Look at the teams. Just look at the teams.

That shit going to spit out Giannis. All you got to do is look at the teams, bro. You got to put it. Yeah. Look at the teams. They should have all data. They're going to spit out Giannis. They're going to come back to that motherfucker. Ah, bro. You gotta put it, yeah. They should have all data. They gonna spit out yawners, they gonna come back to that motherfucker,

ah, Nicola. I said I am legend, I meant I row back. I apologize, sir. I row back. I row back. Them two. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Them two. My logic is under that.

I personally don't like that they have half the fans vote, right, for All-Star and then 25-25. Yeah, that's stupid. I don't like that. Why not just make it All-Fan? No, yeah, just keep it vote for All-Star than 25-25. Yeah. I don't like that. Why not just make it All-Fan? No. Just keep it back to All-Fans because there's a bunch of NBA players who missed seasons.

Right? They missed season, but they was popular and they got an All-Star check on their name. Yeah. There's a bunch of Hall of Famers that shouldn't have two or three of them shits because they didn't play that season. Well, is the fan vote even fair because it's going to skew towards big market players? You got like the Mellow Orcs. But that's how some of those got those. Yeah.

That's how some of them got them. Well, if that happens, then they would just have to change what being an All-Star means then, right? Yeah. If it goes all to fan voting, then having that All-Star means then, right? Yeah. Like, if it goes all to fan voting, then, like... Having that All-Star next year

obviously is a great accomplishment, but it's not going to be like... How much weight should we put on being an All-Star? Right, if it goes all the way to fans. It's the whole body of work. I mean... Who are the best half-season players?

The starters. Yeah, they're the starters, but they get that, like... You can play four games and get that vote under your name Yeah, they replace you if you're not playing but you still get credited for it. So I mean, yeah The real all-stars is the reserves. Yeah, there should be like an incentive in a reward Marketable and popular because that's not always you trust coaches to vote for the all-star reserve coaches are haters, too

No, I don't like the idea of how they vote because they vote or I don't know if they still do it because they say it's positionless. But when I see a bunch of guards, like seven of them in there, then I'm going to always think you guys are changing the vote. Like, so let's say we get our votes and we put the top seven reserves. If six of them are guards and there's one for once it gets to Adam Silver and his group, they're gonna change it to make it fit. Two forwards, one backup guard, and that's how to... and that's crazy. Because you can have six votes, I can have seven votes, eight votes, four votes, but they need another big,

four votes get in. So, yeah, so those just have to, like, change what the All-Star game is. Should they go back to that old-school shit, though? Huh? The old-school shit we was talking about when they gotta pick two forwards, gotta pick two guards.

Because one year, it might not be like you can be an ass sinner, but you are... Or you can be the second best sinner, but you're ass compared to the rest of the... There's guys that's averaging 28 and 10,

that's not making it, but he averages 9 and 5, but he's the second best big in that league. That's not an all-star, though. It is. If you're the second best big... With 9 and 5 and motherfuckers out here carrying... But leagues are not a part of, like,

the scoring things in this new era. It ain't like back in the day when it was a big-man league, that's what I'm saying. You still need somebody like, like how much did we play around with Goldberg? You still need somebody like that. So Lexi, what were you saying? I don't even remember.

They did it when they got, you know who messed it up? You know who changed it? Kid from Golden State. Zaza? Zaza. When Zaza almost became a starter. So what's wrong with that? If he has... They scared the fuck out of him. Like, oh, shit, hell no. Then they changed it.

They had the Korean contingent coming in. It's like, do people want All Star to be fun or they want it to be serious? It was like, he had like 200. Like, I don't know. The next one had like 150, so it wasn't in the millions. Because they want it to be like a super competitive game, but it's like, but then you want all your faves to be in it, which is not always the deserving players, so it's like, okay. Anyway, Steven, they say he gonna cancel.

He gonna call and make a call. Tell him to play hard? If they don't play hard, so... I'm just like, I don't... Might be the last All him to play hard? If they don't play hard, so. I'm just like, I don't. Might be the last All-Star. If y'all don't play hard, I'm gonna get y'all my heroin. It's like fun. I don't understand why everyone's so obsessed with.

What? I mean, it has looked excessively bad, but I'm like, do y'all want them to play like it's a real game, it's an All-Star game? Like it's fun. Put some bread on it. People who's complaining is. It's for shits and gigs. The people who's complaining is Wage.

Older ones. Right? They remember the All-Star game when no one shot the ball very well, but they just ran up and down. They remember the 80s

and the early 90s. And, you know, mid-90s All-Star games where, you know, the players took it serious because they wasn't making as much, so $15,000. Like, the fact that it's still probably the same amount of money.

$15,080, boy, that's some good hits. That's some good hits, you feel me? You know, $15,000 now. They're going to have to, I think they're just going to have to sit down and try to find other ways to make the game exciting. In the last show, we talked about this. You also been asked for his autograph. I signed an autograph.

I want to be funny today. Fuck with Nick Day. Fuck with Lou. Fuck with Swaggy. These are merely fans of the show. They've designated who they would like to sign autographs for. So 15 grand? If they pumped the money up for today's Matching at Mickey,

we see what we see what? $500,000 do to the end season tournament All right We see what that does it actually makes them go out because that's extra money debt Whatever the reward is if you can make somebody like LeBron excited about it somebody like Yonzi But the game still count towards your record so But the championship does that's the only one that don't. Yeah.

But the rest of the motherfuckers... The one that's for the money don't count towards your record. Yeah, the one that's for the money don't count, but the rest of the motherfuckers do, so guess what? You still get a share of the party.

They gonna play hard in them games. Still. $250,000 for getting there. Why is the NBA All-Star Weekend like the only one they put on blast compared to other sports? Because the other sports are some local-ass bitches.

I don't know. The other sports are some local-ass bitches? I don't know. The other sports are some local-ass bitches. I'm just being honest. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. There's always pressure on the NBA All-Star weekend compared to other sports. What?

Because it's the worst narrative movie. He meant that shit, boy. It's the worst narrative movie. I thought he was talking about MLB, NFL.'t know be NFL did not think the hands into the WNBA I thought you were talking about favorite all-star week Shit, I'm just sorry. It's just the worst narrative moving that the views is down only because we were international It's international if there's a game at 7 o'clock here. What the fuck time do you think it is in China? They're not watching the game. When they wake up, that's where all our views come. So when you try to compare us to fucking

Netflix, won't you wait for the next day and then see there was 500 million people watching that watch the Laker game, the Laker-Golden State game, 500 million. We got a 52% viewer rate in China. 52% of Chinese people watch the NBA compared to the NFL, which has 6%. They love it. We have French players. You think Wendy's fans is watching him when he's playing? No, they got to wake up then watch him. They better stay there a French ass night

and watch him again. But that's what I'm saying. So our views on regular ass TV is not counted. It's more vital than anything ever. You know what I mean? So it's like you're pushing out a wrong net because your ass is watching regular ass cable. That's not our problem.

That's not... I haven't seen one motherfucking clip from Super Bowl. Have y'all? A touchdown, a good pass. I haven't seen one clip of Beyoncé's performance. Don't bring her into this. I'm just saying. That was the big thing.

It was country skewed. I'm saying it's the big thing, but have we seen any clip that? I personally have saw more Beyoncé content than the football game. Taylor Swift also. Yeah. I did too. Because of the algorithm on your phone. Right. But I'm just saying what I saw

on my phone was Beyonce and no football. I saw football and no Beyonce. It's like the fans are watching, they're just watching it in a different form. And that's what they don't understand. Like, most of us don't go to restaurants anymore. We Uber

eat. Right? It's very different. So you're still getting the same customers, just in a different form. You're a door desk. Door desk. I postmate personally, but. Okay. But that's what I'm saying.

So you're not getting the foot traffic like you used to because. Anyone that's boss of the show. Yeah. But I'm saying you're not getting the foot traffic like you used to. So, yeah, we're not watching it on television, but we're consuming it another way, and you don't know how to count that yet. And shout-out to the streamers who may not be legal. We won't say their name to protect everybody

who watches there, but y'all are watching. We're just trying to, like you said, local markets get screwed out a lot. I think the Denver market is something like 1,500, 2,000 people in the local market watching the game. Yeah, because they got local TV. Like, everybody not buying that network. Like, and then even during the NBA, during that...

What was it? During the Christmas game. Oh, this is against the Lakers, too. It was four games, right? Wow. It went NBC. Another motherfucker sign. It went ESPN.

What'd it go? Five games. Five games. But it switched different channels, right? That's right there. Wow. And when NBC... Another motherfucker sign. And when ESPN... What it go? Five games. Five games. But it switched different channels, right? Yeah. That's right there. That's fucking up.

You know, if you only got... If you don't have one channel, you missed those games. Exactly. Breaking me down in front of my seat on the record. I'm just saying, man. It's just a bad... It's just a bad... Bad narrative, but they wonder why the money keep going up.

Because y'all stuck on these numbers. They're talking. It's over here, goddammit. We looking over here. Speaking of going up, our stock is going up here on Gil's Arena. We got fans now in the arena getting photos signed. What a beautiful time. Fans showing their appreciation to the couch.

Some members of it. Trying to turn the fuck up. But we asked the chat, who is your NBA MVP right now? 65% said Shea. 27% said Jokic. 8% said other. So SGA, the 10th different player to record a 50-point game this season.

Damn. No other player has done it twice so far. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the hardest, how hard is it to score 50 in today's NBA? How hard is it? How hard is it to score 50 points in today's version of the National Basketball Association?

You just got to get the shot attempts. Scoring's up, pacing's up. He only took 10 threes. It's hard, but it's easy. The easy part is if you got the ball and you going, it's easy because you can get to the lane. There ain't nobody down there trying to fuck you up. So that's the easy part. The hard part is the corner players actually think they're part of the team.

I know they have a jersey on. I know they get their name called and yay. But no one came to see y'all. So they, you pass it up, you might get the ball back. They think they can take 13 shots now. Most of the corners are the fan favorites. You better stop. There you go.

But those players know when their teammate is having one of those nights. Right? Well, some. Some. Some. You got some. Like SGA's teammates clearly knew he was going to have one of those nights, right? Well, some. Some. Some. You got some. Like, SGA's teammates clearly knew he was going to have one of those nights. He's number one team.

He's playing with a guy named Dork. Lou Dork. I thought you said he was playing with Dorks at first. No, he's playing with Lou Dork. Number one. 50. Yeah, I mean, I think this is the easiest it's been to get 50 points. I'm not saying that that's the easy thing to do, 50. Yeah, I mean, I think this is the easiest it's been to get 50 points. I'm not saying that that's the easy thing to do, though.

Yeah, we're not diminishing getting 50 points in every game. When you did that. OK. Oh, that selfie? Yeah. Wait, this picture's so cute. I can't wait to play again. I had 43 with the Wizards, though, when you left.

Okay, so, I'm glad she has fans here in New England. You're welcome. Buzz on E. But you know, that's crazy. I didn't even notice that. That's fucked up. You know what? Got the D-Lo jersey. Call me a corner nigga.

What a crazy thing about you being a corner dude. No, you're disrespecting the whole organization of us. That's what I'm talking about. It's the corner dudes that think they can do this. No. I'm just saying. It's easy, but it's hard. I'm just saying, when I throw the ball.

Because the corners ain't supposed to shoot. Let's see. Throw the ball up, waiting for it to get back so I can do my pick and roll, and he done shot the ball. Now somebody got it going. Yeah. What if I got it going? It's hard every night, motherfucker, for me. It's hard every night for me.

Even if I get it going, I got to wait another 10 minutes to get my next shot. And that's what you get paid for, to wait 10 minutes before your next shot. I'm going to fucking shoot every other. You think that shit fun? Coming to the arena to play defense? I ain't made shit work on you.

Who want to come to the arena and be like, hey, you know what, I'm so happy to play. You should have sacrificed a little bit more then. Shit. Shit ain't cool. I'm sorry you wanted to be a family man, brother. I decided I wanted to be a dad bee. Shit, that comes with prizes.

That comes with seven, eight, nine extra shots. You sitting at home taking care of your kids, boy, them shots you get. See, now you're sending shots at me. No, I'm just saying. No, I'm just saying, right? As a, you know, you be a deadbeat, that means you ain't at home, you in the gym working your craft. You at home playing daddy, right? So you ain't in the gym like that. Playing daddy.

So you get those shots. Not being one. No, daddy. I'm not a real motherfucker daddy. I'm playing daddy. I'm some type of ex today. No, your daddy got you. You think I'm a trucker, right? Motherfucker.

No. 50 million worth of motherfucking lollipops in this. And I'm crazy. I'm saying y'all doing good. I'm insane. You got to read the books, right? You got to watch a little movie. Read them a little book.

That's what y'all doing. I, I'm at the gym, sir. Oh, shit. Nigga, I'm insane. Ladies and gentlemen. I thought he was coming to make me sign some. See the disrespect? You got excited? Ask me, can you sign something for me?

This shit is crazy. He told you to put your thing down? Yeah. Thank you. Take your audio pack out your pocket. But... It's a sign. It's an autograph.

Yeah. So we still respect the thesis, but... Yeah, I'm saying, like, when Melo had six in the guard, no assists, bro. That's crazy. Yeah, six feet is none. Not a single assist. Not a point. Not a nail assist.

As he should. That's crazy. You know what? Just one. The dude, he was... Who was guarding him, he was talking shit, right? Dude, shut up. So he can pass the ball.

He cooking, no, no, he is cooking you. He is taking this shit personal. So whoever they put in for you, God, listen, you making it bad for the next person. When you come back in and when he checked back in, oh, it was a full-on flame going yeah it was this jack that's extra person 60. that's personal i had eight assists and i'm like god damn that could have been like 70 damn yeah why was you passing it because it was just part of the game when you had 60 you had eight assists why wow it was part it was just

part of the game but you know you know it you know, it's the, uh... No, fuck all that. You know what offense rules is. Nah, he would've understood. Yeah. No, but it was 16 in the second. It was 16 at that point. Call Chen. Nah. Chen threw, okay. Chen 15, head time. Oh. No, no, no, it was, uh,

because it was, like, throughout the game. It would've been Chen 15 every play. I finished with 44, uh, in regular. It would've been Chen. It would've been Chen 15 every time, right? Yeah. We would've called four. I would've been in 44 in regular. It would have been 10, 15 every time. Right? Yeah. We would have called four.

I would have been at the forward spot. We would have called forwards out. I would have went forwards out, reverse. Yeah, forwards out, reverse. It took me, I think, two and a half years to get my first assist from Kobe. That's his name? It was a record. They put it out there and said it to him for three years.

This is his first assist. First time he passed it to you? First time I passed it to him. Damn! And him. It's the first time we passed each other. Can you guys give him the sign this please? I thought you were really about to...

Okay. That's what we're doing. I got a picture like this too. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture.

I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I just took a picture. I thought you were really about to... Okay. That's what we're doing. I did it. I got a picture like this, too. I just missed it, man. I just missed it. So, it mean it ain't worth shit? It was a meme, so it mean it's worth more. That meme is funny as hell, Nick.

That's why. And you gonna give it back to me to hand it back to him? Yeah, can you give it back to me to hand it back to you can get it back to my fan You know what a target is yours, right He said thank you. Appreciate it You know the best thing is he already been the bodyguard This is what he had to do as a rookie. So he's right at home, huh? See, you know what I'm talking about?

My mom and my people be watching this shit. You know I got to walk out in the streets. You got to live here. I got to live here. Oh, I remember when I almost shot her. That would have been a good deal. Now you going to my mama. Who's the last?

No, no, no. I'm just saying I remember that was... It was Thanksgiving and then... Now I gotta cut you. No, it was Thanksgiving and she almost got shot on Thanksgiving. Like, dang. What type of weapon? A BB gun or...

Paintball. Okay, see, that's what you gotta clarify, Gil, because a lot of people in this chat... Yeah, she came out there trying to play, you know, bodyguard. You remember, yeah. Yeah, I hid behind her. Yeah, hid behind her like, I don't know... He hid behind her. He ain't her like, I don't know. I don't know.

He ain't gonna shoot my mama. He ain't think I'm behind her. That's what he thought. You ain't gonna shoot my mama. Girl, I don't know what you know. It's like Call of Duty. Both of y'all did. Rata-ta-ta-ta-ta.

So speaking of therapy, we spoke earlier this week about Draymond issuing another public apology to Jordan Poole this past weekend for the infamous punch back in 2022. Well, Draymond addressed the tweet on his podcast with Baron Davis. Let's take a listen. Why did you respond to that? I responded because, you know, like, it's been three years. Like, let's move on, you know? Where's the love? We moved on.

Like, we're supposed to move on, man. I really am sorry. Like, you know, that statement was kind of like, it was kind of like it was looking for some sympathy. You know what I'm saying? Like, I kind of keep wanting to make me out to be the bad guy. Move on, bro. Like, it is what it is. So.

You are the bad guy. I hate when bad guys want to be soft like Ken. Like, let's be Ken all day, motherfucker. Well, I was gonna say, well, Draymond, you didn't get punched. So that's real easy for the... For the aggressor? That's real fucking easy for us to...

Yeah, real fucking easy for you to move the fuck on when you ain't the one that got punched. Man. In front of the world. And shipped off to D.C. Right? Yeah, but the punches, they're damn getting shipped. Yeah, get me away from this motherfucker. Yeah, please get me away from this motherfucker. Yeah. Please.

Far away from you can get me. 3,000 miles away. You can't get no further. Can't get further. Can't get no further away from this motherfucker. That's a family room after that, bro. That's what I'm saying. You can't be the aggressor and then dictate the response. That's a lot of people.

You can't talk shit and then try to control my response. You lie about me, don't tell me when to stop coming at you. I'll figure that shit out myself. You shouldn't have started don't tell me when to stop coming at you. I'll figure that shit out myself. You shouldn't have started, right? You punch me. If I want to talk about this shit the rest of my life, I'm going to do it. Yeah.

So we just got done talking about therapy, right? Mm-hmm. To your point that, well, we don't go to, I didn't go to therapy to lie, right? Damn. You want to say the truth? Yeah, absolutely. You want to say the truth? That's what you're supposed to do. Hey So the thing so what one thing was saying was like you can't dictate on how long it's gonna take her to get over your

bullshit, right Whatever you did. She gonna get over how long it's gonna take her So same shit with this like you can't dictate how the terms of when this... If, if he's ever gonna get over the fact that you put your hands on him, right? Your spouse has a choice. If you did some bullshit, she has a choice whether she's gonna move on and forgive you

and try to move past. They have a choice. That's a choice, right? So, yeah. What did you say I'm sorry to? You went the therapy. I really am. So, so, fool said that, that's a I really am so so cool You wouldn't know it would you? Yes What did they fix? Oh, she did a lot

Said he like miss Angela did a lot shout out to miss Angela Williams man. No, she did a lot, bro Yeah Said he loves he loved those guys. We love most of those guys in the Warriors like Imagine before you went to therapy how you were. Damn, I don't know what you're saying. He said he loved those guys, well he loved most of those guys in the Warriors locker room. Oh yeah, okay. So I could imagine before you went to therapy how you was. Oh yes. Damn, I love- I probably should still be going.

But, you was a little too fucking tickled in there. Fuck, like- Stop laughing so hard, I'm trying to figure out like- All that Kiki and these- No, I'm just like- What do you got to leave? What is the therapist saying about- Like for me- I hard, Paolo. I'm trying to figure out, like, what... What does the paper say about... I got therapy every Friday. No, but I... No, but Draymond, you can't dictate.

I got... So... Stop lying. When you know... So here's the thing, right? So we talked about he said he's sorry. When you know you wrong, you don't want to keep sitting in it.

Mm-hmm. So when he brings it up, when somebody else bring it up, you got to revisit and you got to sit in that shit again, right? Like I said, truly believe he was apologetic and he's sorry for putting his hands on that young man. Absolutely. But when the media asks Jordan Poole about it when they play the Warriors

until Draymond is done playing, somebody's going to ask about it, right? And if he responds this way, then Draymond, he has to sit in that shit again, right? So it's... Listen, from someone who has made plenty of beds, uncomfortable motherfuckers. I didn't have to get a pillow and a fucking blanket

and get fucking comfortable in them. Draymond, get comfortable being uncomfortable in this situation because you put yourself in it, right? You did it. You put your hands on that man. So,

I didn't have to get comfortable. Trust me. Is it different if we just heard about it yeah absolutely a lot different now because now it's just hearsay now it's just hearsay the world's seeing this man get punched so now every when the two names come up it's automatically gonna be man you see the way Draymond punched it it's automatically gonna go to that right fuck the apology somebody will apologize fuck the apology punched him right so it's So I get it right. I'm saying so but but Draymond like you can't dictate the terms

Yeah, you made this bed, bro. Like I gotta get comfortable and get in this bitch Hey, I think you feel to make that motherfucker that new Tempur-Pedic joint. We got the remote We got foot up if you want to watch TV it lift your head up You want to sit in that bitchy... Hey, get you one of them and get comfortable in them because this is what it is at this point. And then get you a glass of some Tennessee. Right? Or some cognac.

That's why I drink now. Right? Get you a cigar. That's why I drink now, because I'm the victim of this shit. Y'all don't know how it feel to be on the other end of this shit. Under end of what?

I mean, I was snitched on in front of the world. Yes, we did. Took care of that. And here, Gil still being the aggressor. And you still bringing that shit in my face, man. Getting a jersey, not a current former D-Lo Lakers jersey, but from the actual era where you two played together. From the actual, the time, the time.

That's what I'm saying. And y'all was probably on a roll. You was on a roll when it happened. So this is the jersey y'all was probably wearing the night before. I know, man. I know, I did my research. That's what I'm saying. Hey, Draymond, if you want him to stop, like Kenyon said, you gotta, you gotta sleep in that bed. And all you have to do is just say, if that motherfucker keeps saying this and bringing that shit up, I'ma punch his ass again. Hey, that'll stop it. That'll stop that shit right there.

He already know what the first hit felt like. He don't't want another one. See I didn't want to go to see you know, I mean Hit him again. I was sorry before I'm not gonna be sorry the next time I didn't want to see that's like We hear guard like me. We gonna shut the fuck up Yeah, I was shut the fuck up. He already done threatened me. I already know what he's capable of. If you keep crying, I'm going to whoop you again. If you keep crying, I'm going to whoop you.

That's what booze can do, though. But why bad? The ex whoop is going to make me stop crying. You crying before I give you something to cry about. That straightens up all that shit. Trust me. That wouldn't make Draymond look crazy, though. I think it don't matter.

If he got on that mic and was like... So you think it's going to change... He look crazy no matter what. So you think it's going to change his perception? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What people have of him? Y'all should just... If he would have gotten this podcast and told BD,

man, if he keep running his mouth, man, I'm going to punch him again. Nobody would have thought anything different. They'd be like, I don't know. That's Draymond, right? That's Dr, right? You know, reporters ain't going to ask poor shit no more because they don't want him to get hit. They don't want to get hit. They don't want him to get hit.

And if you ask him, I'm going to punch you too. Because everybody's seen him get hit. So Draymond just need to threaten everybody then. No. Like I said, but this situation, he already made this big. Just get comfortable in it, right? He's threatened my life on TV.

The other guys who you didn't choke the, like, whoever it else has been, oh, well. But him, this is what it is. But he was your teammate, so this is an uncomfortable situation. You agree with Draymond saying it's time for Jordan Poole to move on from the altercation? No, never move on. Beef is eternal. Jordan Poole can move on whenever he feels like it.

If I was Poole, I would have said, fuck you, Draymond. The fact that Jordan Poole actually hasn't really ever addressed this really... Every day he would have been some fucking Draymond. I would have shot every shot in the Warriors stadium and just, fuck Draymond! He would have like, bust their ass. Fuck Draymond after every shot. That gets you beat up. That gets you He was like, bust their ass. Fucked their mom after every shot. They get you beat up. They get you beat up again.

That's cool. That gets you beat up. Hey, man, I got my ass whooped once. Now what's wrong with getting my ass whooped again? Because that was just one punch. That was just one punch. Yeah, that was one punch. This might be a real one.

And this one going to be more than, well, how much they paid them last time? 140. OK. Got to ask for 40. This is going to be an extra. I'm going to just be honest. If a player was going to punch me on negotiation,

if it's going to cost an extra 20 million, I'm going to... Take that one. You going to keep poking it bare? I got a meal for you. You're going to hear it swing real quick. Let's stick together. Just hit me right here. Just make it look good.

So Draymond also went on to say this about how he could have handled the situation with Poole. You know, I kind of go back. It's over, bro. Yeah, bro. It's over. You know, I'll be kind of going back and forth with this on like. I'll be kind of in between on certain days like, yo, I know I was wrong, but you can't call a man a B word and push him and not get hit either. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? I'm going to sit in both of those spaces sometime. You know what I'm saying? The reality is, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, right? Like, I shouldn't have knocked him out like that. If anything, I should have hemmed him up. It was just a natural reaction. So the reality is, I probably should have hemmed him up or something like that. Look how he talking, bro. This is disrespectful. I shouldn't. Oh, everything.

He's disrespecting me in front of everyone. I probably shouldn't have hit him up or something like that. Yeah. After the fact. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, after the fact. So, what did I say? Same interview.

The push. What did I say? I didn't even know he called him a bitch. He said he called him a bitch. So, therefore, I said the push got him punched. Was it the... The push. So, definitely you getting punched. With a smile on his face, too, probably.

Like, exactly what the fuck I said. He ain't about to be walking around talking about it. That's why I knocked him out. That shit almost... That ain't cool, bro. Huh? That ain't cool. None of the whole situation ain't cool. That ain't cool, but I'm Huh? That ain't cool. None of the whole situation ain't cool.

That ain't cool, but I'm proof, bruh. Something gotta happen, bruh. It did. They traded him. Nah, something gotta happen. What, they gotta have a brawl? Hey, you just talking like this? Yeah, it ain't never over. I'm calling them everything. What are they gonna do to him? What are they gonna do to him?

Jordan Poole is no threat to him. It ain't gotta be Poole. He got a hundred. That's what I'm saying, it ain't gotta be Poole. Milwaukee girl. Yeah. He ain't from Racine. He got a hundred forty million. Milwaukee is fucked up.

With that hundred forty million, you can pay a hundred thousand to catch a nigga at the hotel. Or hit some of those summer vacations. Man. For real. Imagine that. I don't spend my money. Boy. Oh, man.

Listen, if Jordan Poole was a threat. He talking like that, man? Knock him out. Oh, yes. Yes. No words. Oh, these motherfuckers are no. I hate the words, bro.

50,000 can come out the quick. So he said he should have went somewhere in between. He said he should have grabbed him. Instead of knocking him out. You know, he said. Then he grabbed you like this. He said he should have grabbed me. Instead of knocking him out. You know, he said... Then he grabbed me like this. Like he said, so what he say, natural reaction is...

So everything that I said right in this fucking very spot and then said multiple times, right? Had he not pushed him, he don't get punched. I've been saying it. But was it the push or the bitch? Probably both. He only got pushed before and then punched. The word would have got you punched by himself.

He already walked up on you. The word would have got you punched off top. The push by itself got you punched. Both of them together, that's why he hit him as hard as he did. That's why he leaned into it. But what if you caught me that first? Do I get to call you back and even it out? Well you better be ready to fight. Oh my god. Y'all just gonna sit in the middle of the B word? You gonna take off on somebody and you gonna beat up somebody? Say a few words. Who? I don't know. You gonna throw one, I'm gonna throw one.

I think Draymond got pushed before and then swing. Be a man, Gil. We ain't seen it. I just say a few words. I think, well, Artek maybe. Yeah, I think Tristan Thomas, whatever the nickname. Tristan Thompson? Yeah, TT.

I just thought that if you say the word, I get to say it back, and then it's like even. Then you can probably throw another word. Guaranteed, if they would have been teammates. Then I can throw another word. Guaranteed if they would have been teammates, Tristan push him, he get punched. Guaranteed.

I don't know. It's easy to punch Poole, though. You think Tristan, or Draymond punches Tristan? If Tristan, he pushes him, if they in a different setting, he push him, he get punched. Absolutely. It's easy to punch Poole. They gonna fight.

I don't think Tristan will back down. But you know, I don't like big motherfuckers. I don't like big motherfuckers punch, fool. They gonna fight. I don't want them Tristan to go back. Wait, how did Tristan get involved in this? I don't like big motherfuckers fighting, man. That shit, I get hurt, man. Yeah. Like, after a certain weight class, man, don't do that shit, man.

I'm just. Yeah, but like I've been saying. The punches sound harder. Like, leave that shit for like 110. 110? Boom, boom. Come on, y'all. Let that shit.

Who was weighing 110 pounds? You know what I'm saying? I'm glad. I know, boom, boom. Like, come on, y'all. Let that shit. No, man. Who was weighing one of them? I'm glad J-Man addressed it that way. There appeared to be some kinking going on. I love BD. Shout out BD. But the thing is, like you said, somewhere in between, because if he would have grabbed Jordan Poole, he would have picked him up,

guaranteed, picked him up off his mother That ain't your moment to pick that and grab and put him on that wall Yeah, that's what you do. He ain't been you showing the power. He's sure Had he thought about it, that's what he would have done but natural reaction you push me. I'll punch you just natural fucking reaction To a young That's what I said George who I never been in the fight Yes, I said when it happened his you push him and you don't throw your hands up You ain't never been in a fight, bro You not just gonna push somebody with that walk up on you and you just stand with your chin in the air like,

take your best shot, buddy. Like, no. So, Alexa, Jordan Poole went to Michigan. Draymond went to Michigan State. When you push, you're going to go to the line. Because I be looking at Nick sometimes, but... Get it! He's supposed to push and punch.

So, we asked the chat, do Draymond and Poole need to move on? 62% said yes. And with that in mind, we're going to move on as well. We got to talk about the situation going on in South Beach. We touched on this a bit at the end of yesterday's show. But we got to revisit because we got ample time now. Jimmy Butler has been suspended for two games for missing a team flight after just returning from a seven-game suspension for conduct detrimental. the team. You may recall in his third game back, he wore

the Suns colorway sneakers as the Heat lost to the Blazers at home. So the Heat released a statement saying this about the suspension. We have suspended Jimmy Butler for two games for continued pattern of disregard of team rules, insubordinateordinate conduct and conduct detrimental to the team including missing today's team flight to Milwaukee Hmm where did the heat and Jimmy go from here see what Jimmy had thought was that sister The other game was postponed Then he said fuck it. I'm going to just be postponed too. Yeah. I'm not going to the cold right now.

They got snow in Milwaukee right now? Yeah. We all seen La Bamba. All right, you already know. Not getting on that plane. Cold everywhere. Why is he playing? Why is he going on trips?

Why are y'all putting him in this situation? Like, for you, like you said, they're going to put him in situations so they can keep doing this. That's weak. That's weak. They're going to keep putting him in situations. Listen, they probably, yo,

I don't know how late he was. It could have been when, when, when, when that motherfucker say he's taking off at three, that motherfucker take off at three. They probably, oh, Jim in here, 259, door up, wheels up, off at 3. They probably, oh, Jimmy ain't here until 3. 259, door up, wheels up, let's go. Like, it's like... Yeah, petty.

Poole point. He's late. You know, the funny part is, so, you know, I asked about, do they have fines for missing... You know, they got just fines. You never got suspended for it. So they said Jimmy Butler, most of the time, flew private. That's what I was about to say, because of the time, flew private. That's what I was about to say.

Because in the documentary, he was always traveling by himself. He flies private already. And then he usually stays at a different hotel. That's crazy. Naturally. I heard it was Airbnb. So, yeah. So they usually, yeah.

He don't want to stay. I heard it was Airbnb. He don't want to stay at a hotel around everybody else. You know, all the hoopla that's going on. So he stays outside away from the team. So they said, I mean, they said he would get his money back because it's just something he does and because he's never got a warning for it

or fine for this behavior. But they said they're trying to suspend him until they can trade him because they don't want him to play and get hurt. But they don't want him to sit home and collect his money, right? So they're trying to figure out

ways to suspend him. But this person said Miami's not bad. Because everybody knows Jimmy Butler took privates and then he stays away from the.. So next, when he doesn't stay at the hotel, you're going to fine him for that too?

I'm talking about Jimmy. Do you got to be like, do we do that with every team? Fly private and stay somewhere? Can you really build like that though? But what I'm saying is, what the fuck? I know they know. I'm talking about it. He shouldn't get fined for that. But today's Thursday. If we play, if? But what I'm saying is, what the fuck? Like... I know they know. I'm talking about it. He shouldn't get fired for that.

But today's Thursday? I'm talking about that. If we play... If you leave in a day and night, we play Saturday, right? We'll leave today or tomorrow. I think... So you got suspended yesterday.

They have a game today against the... Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. So we'll leave yesterday. So we'll leave either today or we leave tomorrow at 3. And I come later at night. What the fuck is the problem? Nothing, technically.

No, I know.'re playing the draw. You're going to put my bags in my room for me. It doesn't, you know, nothing changes. But, but, this is a pissing contest. Yeah. And Pat Riley want to show him what he got. The water is cold. You're not going to control his team.

And that's kind of like a bad narrative, too. I mean, not a bad narrative, but that's a bad position. Pat Riley. They both look bad now. They look crazy. Your star player has to control the team because he's in the pits with them. You're at your age.

You can't be the dictator no more, right? Your job now is to be in line with the star player so the star player can put the rules in. You can't make the rules because you're not there in practice. You're just the guy on the side that everyone's afraid of just making these rules up. That doesn't work today. That's old school, not today.

I hear you to a certain degree. But if it's bad behaviors and bad, like, for team stuff, right? If Jimmy's not a part of this, if he's not showing them how to be team stuff, then other people have to step in, right? Because he's an individual, like, flying private. That's what I was talking about. That's an individual.

But he's done that before. That's fine. He's done it the whole time. Okay, but still. Four years. But I don't want him teaching the younger guys that that shit is okay. But he did it for four years. He can do it. That's fine. But now you't want him teaching the younger guys that that shit is okay. But he did it for four years.

He can do it. That's fine. But now you say you want to leave, so now it's a problem. Oh, now it's a... Right. So now you say you want to leave, so now it's a problem for him, right? When you're here, you're producing,

we're making it in the finals, you're doing this, it's fine. Do what the fuck you want to do. But now you say you want out, now it's an issue, right? In any place... Yeah, now you got to fly with us. Now you got to stay in the team hotel.

Like, those are luxuries that they afforded him, right? They afforded him those luxuries to be able to do those things. He's taking it away now. Can any player fly privately if they want to? No. No. I thought those were the best things. If you got something going on, but no, you flying with the team.

Like, yeah, you flying. I mean, no one ever, just to be honest, I don't want to spend my own money to fly to the same city. So for the most part, you motherfuckers better wait for me. If there's something going on, right, so like Mello used to have photo shoots and different things for Jordan and different things like that, right? So he would meet us in certain cities, but that's prior arranged, this, that, and the third.

You're already warned. Something happened, you got a prior arranged, this, that, and the third. You're already warned. Yeah, so it's... Something happened, you got a flat tire, you don't want them to wait. Like, yo, it's packed here. There's traffic, I'm going to be... I'm going to be 45 minutes late. Just leave, I'll just take it private. Those happen.

Are y'all going to find me? No? Okay, cool. But the fine is 10 grand. That's the fine of missing a flight, 10 grand. Right. So it's too far gone now and the fact that

He's continuously put in these situations Like I said, just just sit him at home Sit him at home until you can trade him bro. That's what they don't want to do. I understand but that's but at this point But that's because it's crazy. It's crazy. It's not going... Dude, from... From what I could tell, a lot of these dudes, like, a lot of professional athletes are not punctual. Mm-hmm.

I'm sure the chat would agree with that. He experienced that daily. Right? Even former professional athletes. So therefore, right, if he's been late before to the plane consider. This is probably more than likely a consistent thing with Jimmy the flight is that Says on they get fight at three o'clock. Mm-hmm. Fighters at three o'clock. I

Would ask how many times have Jimmy gotten there at three o'clock for that motherfucker to leave at 3 o'clock or 2 30 to 45 to get on? Or eat early whatever you need to get The mannerisms at this point, right? It's kind of like it is what so you keep putting me in this situation so he's gonna miss another he's gonna be late to another flight He's gonna so until you're late to another what he gonna do is if he's if He's him think about so until you're the trader. Nah, he's going to be late to another one. What he's going to do is, if he's him, think about all the stuff you do and don't do it.

Because they know your habits, right? They know all your habits. So when you go check into the hotel, now you go to Airbnb, I'm going to suspend you. Like, what they're doing now is they're trying to suspend you for the money because they don't want to play you because they don't want you to get hurt into the trade. But Jimmy- So we got nine games out of him, right?

Yeah, right now. So, but Jimmy doesn't seem as the person that you're going to make, like, you ain't going to make me do nothing. Yes, thug. He comes across as that to me like Either I'm riding with you or I'm not and you're not finna make me do anything Okay for what you like he just comes across that to me like so in this situation Santa yeah, I'm approval point. I'm gonna go stay at the Airbnb again. I'm gonna be so I think You giving back millions just I agree with you 1000% when you leave and I change your again. I'm going to be, so I think it's, right? You're giving back millions just. I agree with you 1,000%.

When you're leaving. Change your behavior. I agree with you, but I'm just looking at the track record of the stops and forcing his way out and the way he went.

So it's. And you know, he put it out. That's the funny part. Yeah, so. It's Shams up, you know, Shams reports it

from Jimmy's side. If I was them, if I was Miami, and I seen it go across, I would have publicly said, um, we didn't suspend him. We expected him to be here today and play in tomorrow. Knowing he ain't coming, right?

And then when he don't come... But it's Jimmy, so you know he will pull up. It don't matter. I'll just wait. In a Buck's color. No, what I'm saying is, because he's suspended, today I would announce that, no, we didn't suspend Jimmy. I expect Jimmy to show up. Knowing that ain't enough motherfucking time

for you to come here and get here, goddamn it. All right? Oh, it's fucking mind games at this point. But I would have publicly said I disrespected. It's kind of like your girl taking you back after cheating and shit. That wanted to get off teams. You still got to deal.

Like, she take you back, but she throw it in your face all the time. Like, you know? If you break with Pat Riley, that's not easy to do. You might not break him. Either you just leave, just cut the... break up with me, or shut the fuck up. Basically, you know, that's what I'm trying to say. If you break up with me or shut the fuck up. Basically, that's what I'm trying to say. You break up with me?

All right, because you took me back for a reason. So stop playing these games or just break up with me. Cut me off. I think Pat Riley's sticking it out. So Lexi thinks Pat Riley's sticking it out. I said, listen, man. No, they're trying to trade him. Sticking it out gonna cost you $52 million next year.

No, they're actually trying to trade him. That's why they're suspending him so he don't play. The worst thing for Miami is if he gets hurt. But the bullheaded of it is they don't want him to just sit home. Like, if you're trying to trade him and that's what you're trying to do, you might as well just let him sit home. He'll get $52 next year? He has a player off for $52 million this offseason.

So NBA trade deadline is Thursday, February 6th at noon Pacific. We will be here live in the arena covering whatever goes down that day. What is that, two weeks? But the problem is ain't no way. This is the problem. Because

you can't suspend him for two days for this without, because they're going to check for, have you gave him a warning first. Is this part of your rule book, right? And the fact that he's never got a warning, he's never got fined, and you're just doing it now, he will get his money back. If I know he's going to get his money back, no, tell that motherfucker to show up.

Because if I don't want to pay him to sit home and he's going to get paid for these two games no matter what, I got to refund him anyway, he might as well just come to the game or he might as well just sit home. Like, they're not going to be able to keep this money from him. Because you can't do that. If they just sit home, what would that look like?

He would still get paid? Yeah. And that's what they don't do. They don't want to pay him to sit home. And technically, in this situation, the two games you're suspending him for, he will be paid for that. He don't get it back.

He don't get it back. Wait, you can't suspend somebody? No, because it has to be part of the rule book. And you have to, right, the warning or a fine first or whatever.

Like, it has to be part of what you've done. You just can't make up the rule on the spot. You can't just go to the extreme because you're mad at it. So the last suspension

doesn't count for this second one? So there's too many emotions involved. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You just got to get the emotions out of it. Continued pattern

of disregard of team rules, insubordinate conduct, and conduct detrimental to the team. Yeah, they're just trying whatever. Like, you can't keep track of things and not address them, and then all of a sudden, when you get into it, you throw it in his face and take his money. That's not fair. Damn.

It's a very interesting situation. We will see how it goes. Like I said, trade deadline February 6th. February 6th? You got two weeks. Yeah, this messes up everything. The locker room, everything, bro. Only because, I mean, your teammates, like, you know,

they don't understand the back and forth. They just want to play. They're not in it. They just want to play because they're not in it. And they don't want to be in the middle. They don't want to be like... Some support from the teammates, though, or just feel it? I mean, of course. Then he gave me my bread, look at everything I done did here. They don't want to be in the middle. They don't want to be like... Do you feel like some support from the teammates though or just feel it like, yo...

I mean, of course. Then he gave me my bread, look at everything I done did here. Listen, I'm going to just be honest. Depending on who you are, right, if you're Tyler Hero, to be honest, you don't give a fuck. You happy because it's your team now. And that's just the way it is. It's, you know, there's some players that's like, oh man, come on, Jimmy, we need you.

And there's some players like, shit. It's amazing. All the cards Jimmy. We need you and there's some players like Whoever option to us is now option one. God damn it stay as far as way Like man y'all miss me The phone worked. I said, who is this? He said, Gil, my man. It's Gil, man. Yeah, man, we're not allowed to talk to you no more. Lose my number. Click. Like, wait a minute.

Damn. But here you guys are. No, they was really mad, bro. They was really mad I was talking to him. Yeah. They said you were not allowed to talk to him no more. Yeah, it's a real thing. The team said that. Yes.

He was happy about it, too. Yeah, they told me I can't. They said if I almost got in trouble for talking to him on the floor. They said I'm the number one option if I stop talking to you. So bye, bitch. Damn. Bye, bitch. I was so mad when he played y'all.

And I was like, you want to talk to your friend and shit? I was so mad, man. Well, let's keep this moving. So Mavs took a one-point loss to the Timberwolves last night. But injuries are the real story for this Mavs team. Starting center Derek Lively expected to miss two to three months as he deals with a stress fracture in his right ankle. And perennial first-team All-NBA guard Luka Doncic

has been out with a strained left calf since suffering the injury on Christmas Day. Dallas is 4-11 in the 15 games without Luka. So we got an interesting Mostly Fans question from Underdog User. Must be the money 24 is Kyrie Irving still good enough to get the Mavs to the playoffs or should the Mavs tank the rest of the season? Yeah, they're 23 and 21 right now their ninth ninth in the West They're only like a game and a half two games behind the Lakersakers for the fifth spot. Yeah, but when did Luka come back?

Huh? When did Luka come? You know, great question. What do you know? Uh, calf strength. It's calf. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I don't think that bad. I mean, yes, they can get them to the playoffs. There's a calf that turns into like Achilles. Yeah. Yeah, we've seen this calf injury be a situation for a lot of players around the league. Kyrie can get them to the playoffs. That's all that weight, bro. Yeah, he gonna come back bigger, too.

I mean, they still floating 23 and 21. I mean, it's hard to tell. Nin them to the playoffs. That's all right. Wait, bro. He's going to come back bigger, too. I mean, they're still floating 23-21. I mean, it's hard to take. Ninth in the West. For you to tank, you really got to sit Kyrie. Game of the half behind the leg is for the fist bump. That's what I'm saying. It's one of those things where you just hold the fort up until... So, Luke expected to be back around mid-February.

Four and 11 without him. No dairy. Four and 11. I mean, what seat were they last year? Fifth seat. How many games do you have Kyrie miss? They're going to keep playing. February. Four and 11 without him. No Darius. We'll see where they last year. Fifth seed. How many games do you have Kyrie missed while Luke has been out?

Let me pull it up. Because Kyrie hasn't been... You just keep playing. He was a fish. The lake has been nobody. You can do what to the hoop? What?

Hey, man. P.J. Washington, man. This is one of those times where he had 30... Yeah, he took 22 shots last night.J. Washington, man, like, this is one of those times where like, he had 30, yeah, he took 22 shots last night. So, like, when we come back, don't go back to the corner.

Don't just do the corner shit no more. You would stab, nah, but see, this is when there's moments in time. So Kyrie's been seven games during that stretch without Luke. Yeah. See, There's moments in time. No, P.J. was moving in the playoffs. So Kyrie's been seven games during that stretch without Luka. Yeah. There's moments in time where you get to upgrade your playbook.

Right? Luka went out. Kyrie's been out. You've been the man. So when they come back, you have a bigger role if you try to grab it. If not, the two stars is going to put your ass right back where you've been. That's not going to happen. Sitting there with the deep bowl look. The games they lost. Let me put it up. There's right back where you been. That's not going to happen. Sitting there with the D-Bullet.

What game they lost? Let me put it up. It's a seven-game difference. So, as I was PJ, all right. You PJ. Without Luka. And Luka comes back. He's the...

4-11 without Luka. Let me pull up the Kyrie. You can't just go grab the ball from him. Now, whatever plays you was running from me. But, you know, like PJ, usually he's going to get it, throw it, do it. That now, you've been averaging 2-1-22. Do your thing now. So, you get off...

Because I've been watching you. I've been watching you. That's? You've been averaging 22, do your thing now. Because I've been watching you. I've been watching you. That's what I'm saying. Five of those 11 losses in that. But they need to know that. They need to know that type of stuff. What I'm saying is, like, think about it. Like, when we got Karan Butler.

That's what you got to look at. Right? Karan Butler was a six man. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, Jarvis Hayes was our starter. Karan Butler was a six man. When Karan came in, how he played

when he got in, like, he played very aggressive. Okay. Right? And then there was a point in time, I'm like, damn, coach,

I don't know if you can keep on the bench. I don't know. You know, then he put him in the starting lineup, played well, then from there, it's like, yo,

I'm the third option now. Let's go. So you're just telling him to be more aggressive. Don't be laid back. Once you get a chance, man, you got to seize that chance or, you know, you might not ever get a chance

where Luka and What's-Her-Name go out and you got a chance to be the man for a little bit. So you think, though, if you're the Mavs, like I said, game and a half behind the Lakers for the fifth spot, it's not like... They've had a rough stretch. We've seen this before with this Mavs squad. We've seen them bounce back. Luka had an ambitious goal of trying to come back

before the All-Star break. But... Look, man, they fit, or whatever they are, just keep... A knife right now. I mean, just keep playing.

I mean, I'm just thinking they're one... Yeah, game and a half. Even if they seven-seed, I think I'd take them over Houston. Yeah, they're fine. But Luka back.

But Luka back. As long as that crew is healthy for the start of the playoffs, they're going to show you. And other people get to play and be Derek Lively comes back with? Two to three months. Ooh, he misses the playoffs.

So he coming back right in the playoffs, which is. Or two to three months, so he could very well. Miss the rest of the season. You know how that goes. That two to three month goes. But you got this squad. You still think. You know how that goes, that two to three month goes. But... you got this squad, you still think... That'll bring my next question.

No. We saw the Mavs make the finals last year, the 50, were the Mavs a one-year wonder last season? No. No, but without Luka... Were they a one-hit wonder? One-year wonder. Oh, I'm gonna change my no from yes.

See? That's why you got Luka to go. I thought you was gonna say, oh, they're gonna go back to the championship. See, that's why you gotta look through the question. I thought you was gonna say, oh, they're gonna go back to the championship. See, that's why you gotta love me hoes, girl. You can't be triggered. We did some light skin shit. Okay, yeah, you pivot.

With the Eldritch Cups. So what would we consider a one-hit wonder? What if they go to the Western Conference final? Does that still mean like they a one-hit wonder? Nah, that's what I'm saying. No, that don't mean. No? You're right. So if they go out first round,

I mean they a one-hit wonder. We don't know yet. They get healthy, all the way healthy? I think they the second best thing. Yeah, they won't have won. We don't know yet. They get healthy? All the way healthy? I think they're the second best team. Get all the way healthy, you can't really tell. Yeah. I mean, they get a bye. I mean, they're gonna, you know,

you get to sit on them. Luka was hurt all year. I mean, you get that. Man, with Luka back... They fight, listen, they're fifth seed and they're healthy. They're sixth seed and they're healthy. Look are sixth seed and they healthy. Look out. Look out, yeah.

Whoever they playing in that first round, if they healthy, look out. Yeah. Because they got experience. They got experience and they got two people that are experts at what they do. Three. I think they're the first best team. Klay is an expert at what he does. Ah. I think Dallas is.

Ah. Yeah. He's an expert at what he does. I think Dallas is. He's an expert at what he does. He's a master class. Yeah, he's a master at what he does. Absolutely. Dallas is good. And that becomes dangerous. That is a problem.

That's not Derridoan Jones Jr. No knock to his game or what he brought to the table. He is not him. You are not going to play off him. You're not going to leave him. I'm going to just be honest. I know it doesn't make sense when right-handers do it, but I see it more from lefties.

When lefties are in the left corner shooting their three and... Hit the side of the backboard. They hit the side of the backboard. And I'm like, why don't you just go to the right side so you're even? And then somebody will say, well, you're right-handed and you're on the right side. Yeah, but we don't have that slingshot players got a slingshot for nothing so

yeah why is that I don't know I have no idea I know I do yeah I get there because I don't know what I game would look like on a day not right in all left-handed people hear me well you're not right-handed you what? You're not right-handed you're if you're not right you what? You're wrong You're not right now you know game look like with all left-handed players Somebody almost put it off. It's like four starters in the lineup with the Knicks It was it wasJ. Barron.

You know the bad part about lefties? Yeah, it was like four of them dudes on the floor. Like, lefties, they're lefties. Like, they're a hard-time... But it's so weird because it's still your dominant hand, but I know your whole world is opposite. No, they can shoot, but, like, left-handed players, like... They're so unorthodox. They're left.

They're not... They're not going tricky with a right hand. Only the left-hand person that can shoot is Jared Vanderbilt. Go. Wait, he's left-handed? If I believe you. He has not returned to the line of duty. You do not know what he's been working on

during this extended. He's left-handed. I was gonna say, he's left-handed. You know, shoot. All I just see the ball go like, oh, this ain't going in. Yeah. You don't know he kicked it up there.

Oh, no, no, no, shoot. Oh, damn. I believe he's left handed. I believe he's left handed. He's a lefty. He's lefty, right? Give Vando some grace. All right.

We talking about left handed people that can shoot. You said most left handed people can shoot. But how they play, like, when they're going right, it's like one, two, three dribbles, and they're trying to get back to that motherfucker left hand. Like, that's the only thing about left. Like, if they're left, they're all right, it's like one, two, three dribbles, and they're trying to get back to that motherfucking left hand. Like that's the only thing about left. Like if they're left, they're all left. Super left.

But super do it all the time too, though. Yeah, we do. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes we do go left a little bit, you know, ah, ah, ah, ah. I prefer to go left. You make that noise when you're to shoot. No, a lot of right handers like to go left. Like we'll play with it. With all the shit you want to do, the hands. Like, putting this motherfucker in my left hand to shoot it. Like, we'll play with it. Like, we'll...

All the shit you want to do, the hands up, all that shit is in that left hand. The hands that you want to... You work on it so much because it's your weak hand. The LeBron shit, see that motherfucker is in his left hand. One of the greatest signature moves. Right? You're going to look at it, it's in his left hand. It's the only time we're doing it to shoot the ball, trust me.

Shout out Jerry Vanderbilt. Yeah. Left hand. Shout out Blackie. New nickname, trust me. Shout-out Jerry Vanderbilt. Left-handed? New nickname, new nickname. Ladies and gentlemen, call him Vando. Vando. Vando. That's not his name. That's not a new nickname.

That's not new, Gil. No, he should change his name to Vando. Just one name? In the back, Vando. The Vandalorian. Yeah. Vando. That other shit you got back there that your parents gave

you, yeah, that ain't it. Damn, we'll disrespect that man's daddy's name? No, I mean, what I'm saying, which one sounds better? I mean, it doesn't matter. No, Vanderbilt, because that's his daddy's name. Man, that ain't how you see how that little kid is. They're going to disrespect that man's father like that? You think his kids can say that whole name?

But you just going to disrespect that man's father and his grandfather way? No, no, no, I'm just saying. Do you think his kids? No, no, no. I'm just saying. Do you think he's just going to disrespect the game? You just going to disrespect somebody's father that way? Nick Jr. got a cell phone, right? Goddamn boy, it's crazy. Boom, motherfucker.

So what if somebody want to change your name, say your name is Bullshit? Yeah, Gilbert. Who? I don't want to be called Gilbert. No, not his first name. I don't want to be called Gilbert. But the last name.

Call me G-A. He's talking about changing his last name. He's talking the last name Bull last name call me G. I'm trying to his last name He's on the last name bullshit. Oh, buddy Fuck his lineage.

Oh man, I don't want to hit the bottle, and then it starts poking the motherfucker around here, OK? How old is your kids? What happened? How old is your kids? Six and 10. The youngest one? Have your six-year-old lost his teeth yet?

Yeah. What is? Six-year-old kid? He's six. He lost it at six, right? He's five. He's losing teeth now. Thank you.

He ain't got no teeth yet, motherfucker. Because he lost the ones he had. You're supposed to lose your baby teeth. See what I'm saying, man? He lost them at three. It's been two years.

No, he ain't losing them at three. It's been two years, man. He's disrespecting my... That motherfucker done smoked those. The whole concept of teeth growing in is a little crazy. I'm just wondering, like, normal. Now that I'm sitting thinking about it. Yeah, right?

Like, teeth growing? Yeah. That's crazy. So, that's natural? I know, but it's like... You losing that spot? There's like certain things you don't ever really think too deeply about and that's just not that.

That's what I was thinking about. Like, because I was hearing... Like, your teeth just grow... It's crazy. Just grow and then stop at a certain point. Can they just stop? Mm-hmm. Human bodies are amazing. Yeah.

Yeah, they are. Yeah, absolutely. But we ain't got no teeth. Guys, I'm not. When your teeth came out during practice, and you was walking around with no teeth, you had to run, brother. Brother, do you know what your USC picture look like? Hold on.

And it just caught me off guard. If you know the teammates I had, they was the worst. It just caught me off guard. Andre Blotch, DeJuan Stevenson. Because we all in the room, I'm thinking he'll give me about those, you know You're knocking on my door thing about the he ready to leave. He came with What are we doing right now? I have no idea.

He said he knocked tooth debris off of back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't want her getting that. Oh, man, he was telling me that. Hey, Lashley, you're like, this is new? Is he sweeping me? Yeah. Like, oh, this is new.

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I. Hey, Lashley, like, this is new. Is he sweeping me? This is new. I've never had nobody sweep my back before. That's my signature now. What you doing? This is my signature.

Go to move. Sweep. So we asked the chat, were the Mavs a one-year one? That's what we were talking about. That's what we were talking about. That's what I'm saying. How did we get here? That's not what we were talking about.

I have no idea what y'all were. Oh, because we were talking about mouth guards. I was really hungry. I'm saying. Not what we were talking about. I have no idea what y'all were... Oh, because we were talking about mouth guards. I was really huffing. I'm good. But how do we even start talking about mouth guards? No, I didn't start talking about my son, too. It started with his son having lost his tooth at three and them not regrowing.

And now we're here. Not regenerating at five years old. But let's keep this moving. Now we're here. Let's head back to the Eastern Conference. So Bulls guard Zach Levine is hooping right now. So we got some... gives Zach LaVine some love. Monday night, he came here to Los Angeles,

dropped 35 points in 34 minutes and a win over the Clippers, who were without Kawhi and Big Zoo. So LaVine was 11-21 from the field, 5-12 from three, 8-10 from the line. LaVine's been on a hot streak since the calendar turn to 2025, averaging 29 points per game on 54-46,

82 shooting splits in 11 January games. In the first 28 games he played this season, Levine averaged 22 points on 50-45, 81 shooting splits. Bulls currently 19-25 on the season, 10th in the East, so Monday's win stopped

a five-game losing streak. The Bulls have not made the playoff since 2022 when the Bucs beat them in five games in the first round. So Levine also tied Bob Love for second most 30-point games in Bulls history with 109. Michael Jordan has a few more, 537. That's a couple. You know, just...

Wait, wait, wait. That's a couple, Mo. So tied Bob Love for second most 30-point games in Bulls history with 109. love for second most 30-point games of Bulls history with 109 MJ has 537 30-point games damn With the Chicago Bulls. Yeah, I'll see you over there process 500 and how many 37 the most 30 point 30 Just having 30 points. Yeah

537? That's in Bulls history. Bulls. Here's yours. Chicago Bulls. ...history to LeBron. LeBron, Raymond, James Sr. Oh, my God. He did it in 500 more games. No, I'm just... Like, nine is tied for nine. 109. Oh, 109. 109. Oh, I'm gonna cry. It's tied for second? Second most in Bulls history.

Okay. MJ, 537. Because I'm over here like, Derrick Rose? He got more than that. 109. OK. My bad. So Levine's name been in trade rumors for almost as long as we've been doing this show.

Gills Arena presented by underdog woo woo. Should the Bulls sell high on Zach Levine or try to make a playoff push? Why are they holding on to him? What do you mean? Look at him. He's fucking pretty good at the game of basketball. He don't play. He don't want to be there, bro.

I know. I think they just need to bring him some... 50 games, 40 games to see him. They need to help him now. I was saying free him, but seeing how he's playing. No, bring him some help. But that's not going to do nothing. They tried with the Mopar, right?

They tried. Levine has another year on his deal, player option, 26. Huh? Levine has one more full year on his deal and then player option, 26, 27. Hey, man, I just... Now, you're the opposite of Jimmy Bosa. Yeah. You balling too well for me to trade you now.

You're reminding me why I paid you that money, goddamnit. Yeah. We love you again. We want them penthouses. Fuck. Really, though? What the fuck? What the fuck I'm gonna get back? Really? Goddamnit. We love you again. We want them penthouses. Fuck. Really, though? What the fuck?

What the fuck I'm going to get back? Really? How many games he played this year and last year, like? You know that? Yeah. He ain't played over, what, 45, 50 games in the... I mean, those years he was hurt, but now he's been healthy. Foot issues back in the...

Yeah, like what are they going to get? Yeah, whatever I'm going to get? I'm not going to get it. A first round pick. You can get draft picks. The only place I'd want to see him is in the All-Star in LA. So Levine played 25 games last year, but prior to that played 77 games in the

22-23 season and 67 games in 21-22. Two on my pick-em. Got two to go. Is the game going on? They're playing in Paris. Already? Got two to go. The game going on? Chris Paul and they playing in Paris. Oh, Soccer Aid Blue. I knew they was out in Paris. Yeah, they playing in Paris right now.

Eddie. They just beat the hell out of the Pacers. San Antonio just beat the hell out of the Pacers. Oui, oui. About there. So the Chris Paul one hit. Uh-huh. And the lower.

And then Victor Wamba Wamba. Wamba The lower. And then Victor Wamba Wamba. Wamba Wamba. Yeah, Victor Wamba Wamba hit. Shout out Rasheed Waller for forever changing his name. 30 and 11 for winning. Wamba Wamba. But Levine played 39 games this year. Across the board, he's averaging 24, 5, and 5.

So they got to make up their mind. I'm not getting rid of him. I'm not either. You wouldn't? He's fully healthy, man. But what you going to wear? How far are you going? How tall is he? I mean, how old is he?

About 28, 29? I'm not getting rid of him. How far are you going? I'm not getting rid of him. This is a boring team. Huh? This is a... No, the team is boring, not him.

...really like 27. They're not winning like... They're boring, not him. They didn't try this. They didn't try this. They're boring, not him. That's I'm gonna try this they're boring not him That's why they ain't just gave him away. Yeah, right pretty sure there's got they receive some offers And they know what he capable of doing. It's it and they like

We got to give him away What am I getting back from like let's say I wouldn't trade him for Jimmy Butler No, what you don't want him. But, like, I'm doing what OKC did with the Bulls. That's what I'm doing. Like, he's a high-flyer ticket seller. So if you're not winning, his style at least puts people in seats. Nobody's watching the Bulls.

Besides Chicago people. No, even Chicago people watch this fucking team. I don't know who on this team besides him. Only time you hear about him is when you want to get him traded from there. Nobody talk about the Bulls. Nobody talk about the Bulls. Unless they say, man, we should trade for Zach Levine.

That's all you fucking hear. Nobody talking about the Bulls. Everybody knows Zach Levine. Why they center him. No, we know about him. Double-double. Huh? No.

Vucevic out there averaging a double-double. Yeah, Vucevic. Nobody even talk about that. Nobody cares. Zach Levine. That's what I'm saying. of it. Why this team is not going but think why you're saying Why am I as the organization? Why am I trading the guy? Well, that's sitting here being stale like what the fuck is stale like move Do you kind of get more stale, but we're not feeling to give him a way though But this team is not going over we're not I hear you Nick? But we're not finna give him away, though. But this team is not going nowhere.

But we're not... I hear you, Nick, but we're not just gonna give him away. We're not all supposed to... We're not all supposed to win. From the offers that they've... Listen, trust me. If they have received something

that was worth getting rid of him so far, they would've got rid of him. There's nothing... There's nothing that nobody has offered them that's entertaining them because of the production that Zach Levine can go out and produce, and they know that. Shit, I say, Dr. Connect, Max Christian.

Even this year, they said, listen, I'm packed. I mean, I was a boy. What about the emphasis is going to be on the other guys this year, this, that, and the third? Where are they coming at? 24, 5, and 5. You got to think about the business. Business.

A business? The business of basketball. Like, even before, like, think about it. Even before Clippers were good, right? Mm. Like, the motto for Clippers. This is not selling. We're going to play you four years.

I'm not going to sign you to a max, your rookie max. So, for a long time, the Clippers, number one, two, five, whatever they got drafted, they played three. After their fourth year, he let them go. Because... Someone was only three. Yeah, whatever they got drafted. They played three after their fourth year. He let them go. Because... Someone was only three. Yeah, someone was only three. Because the fans went there anyway.

So they didn't have to win games. He made money. No. Right? So I don't have to win a championship. I'm in the profit. Yeah, some owners are just trying to make money. No, what I'm saying is I'm in the...

What I'm saying is I'm in the... Like, some organization... I'm in the plus not winning. Because here, Knicks don't need to win games. They're not the Knicks. What I'm saying is I don't need to play. My fans is coming no matter what. Chicago's like that.

My fans is coming no matter what. I don't need. Chicago's not like that. New York like that. I get it. But this is still, I feel like Chicago as a whole just need a reimbursement of this new energy, bro. That shit they got now, nobody even cares.

The Bulls need a revamp for sure. Just a revamp, bro. Like, do something. A whole bunch of people that just play smart ass. I mean, like the Clippers did when they fucking got Blake. Just a new, fresh everything. You can get some first, we can get a draft pick. But I think you don't think they can do that with Zach.

I got Zach Levine. Blake, I got a motherfucker who's going to jump over the moon and get some highlights going on. They can't do that with Zach Levine? No, they can't do that with Zach Levine. Blake, I got a motherfucker who's going to jump over the moon and get some highlights going on. They can't do that with Zach Levine? No, they can't do that with Zach Levine. A motherfucker who's jumping over the moon. I hear you, Nick, but we just ain't going to give him away. I know, but I'm not saying just give him away. And that's what teams have been trying,

because they know he's probably dead. But you come up with a real offer of some substantial picks and players that we can get back, we will very much entertain it. Kobe, Vujicic, hey, what's up? I know teams, teams, teams. Nobody want Tim Jones. Not right now. Vujicic, yeah, somebody can do, but that's the guy I want.

Vujicic. Them two. Yeah. Vujicic. Vujicic. I want that guy. What if we call, like, Denver couldn't use the Kobe White? No. Yeah, the shooter. Ain't he a shooter? No, he's a point guard. I want that guy. What if we call like Denver couldn't use the Kobe White? No. Yeah, the shooter. Ain't he a shooter?

He's a point guard. He's been getting buckets, though. I mean, he could have before Russ. He's averaging the empty points a game. He could be the two. But what you got to get rid of? What they will want back for Zach Levine? Just collect all the picks.

And then your own shit like OKC. Collect all the picks. Tie it up for the next. Everybody got them kind of picks, then your own shit like OKC. Click all the picks. Tie it up for the next. Everybody got them kind of picks, but OKC. They done gave it away. OKC, Utah, Brooklyn, but. Three teams. Even a Finkster could use a Kobe White or a Vucevic.

They could use Vucevic's big ass. They gonna have to get rid of something. They ain't get rid of it. Don't they got picks? They just got three picks from Utah or something like that. So Chicago was at the Clippers for MLK Day. Clippers finally have a home court advantage They just got three picks from Utah or something like that. Chicago was at the Clippers for MLK Day. Clippers finally have a home court advantage since moving from underneath the shadow of

the Lakers at Staples Center into the Intuit Dome. And the closing players are taking notice. After the Bulls game Monday, Lonzo Ball had high praise for Steve Ballmer and the love he's showing to visiting teams in his new arena. I like this arena a lot. I know I didn't shoot too well today, but shout out Bomber for, you know, thinking about it. It's probably the best locker room away that I've ever been in.

So stadiums, definitely, you can tell a lot has been put into it, and shout out to him for doing that. You got yourself looking around, like, you know, the halo board, that little wall they had by the bench. Yeah, a bunch of stuff that I've never seen. Fireworks and stuff before the game, that little circle thing above the rim, I mean, above the court. Locker room, he's got tubs over fireworks and stuff before the game, that little circle thing above the rim, I mean above the court, locker room, he's got tubs over there and stuff.

So, you know, he's a very thoughtful man, thinking about a white team, we appreciate that. So shout out Lonzo Ball, currently the third most popular ball brother behind Jello and Mello. He's a good one. You respect Steve Ballmer for using the Intuit Dome as a recruiting tool when visiting teams.

I mean, it's not recruiting. I mean, you're building something that's you. So most opponent kings, right? Remember that? That locker room? That shit. If you were an owner, Gil, would you make the locker room nice for the visitors?

Or like, hey. You don't got to make it like y'all's, but you don't have to have that shit like we had in Sacramento. Sacramento? That shit, come on. San Antonio, too. Smell like soccer. I mean, smell like, uh, hockey.

Oh, no, no, that was Utah. No, Utah smelled like hockey. Hockey, yeah. The Utah visitors' locker room. Utah and Boston's visitors' locker room smelled like fucking Mildew. It was bad. Yeah, it was Mildew.

The hockey smells like Mildew? Yes, because that gear. The old Mildew. Like that gear, like the hockey gear, because it's wet. Everything hockey smells like mildew. Yes, because that gear. The old Detroit. Got it. Like the gear, like the hockey gear, because it's wet. Everything is fucking wet all the time. Fucking playing on ice. Smells like fucking mildew.

That shit's in there and it smells like mildew. It dries and it smells like fucking mildew. Ew. Utah's, I mean, yeah, that shit in, yeah, definitely that shit in Boston, but that visitor's locker room in Sacramento was horse shit. Horse shit. That shit was bad. So like hooking up at your arena, right?

The Knicks used to be bad. Yeah. Visiting the Knicks locker room was terrible. I think it was a lot of team bad. Boston, Detroit. Like the players, like damn, if this is what it looks like here, we should talk about it with them. Can I get in that?

Yeah. You know, so you... You just want to come home, though. I remember, who was your first meal from on the road? What team? That actually fed you guys? You remember? Hell no, Gil.

I don't remember that. 2000. Cleveland fed? Cleveland was the first. Gil loved that. Food, food, like them silver joints, like not we order. Oh, that's sitting right there, them silver joints, like, not we order. Them silver joints, it was Cleveland Cavaliers when LeBron got there.

Oh. I was like, yo, thank you, coach. They was like, we didn't do this. This come from them. And I'm like... So he whooped your ass and gave you a plate? That young motherfucker got that kind of pool where they feeding us this?

Whooped your ass and gave you a plate. If this is what they feed us, what the fuck they got over there? They must got steak lox. Whooped your ass and fed you. Whooped y'all asses on your plate. If this is what they feed us, what the fuck they got over there? They must got steak lox. Whooped y'all ass and fed you. Whooped his. Hey, hey, hey, listen.

We just lost, and he was like, hey, give me some of that cigarette there. Put the mashed potatoes on his goddamn plate. It was really fun. Thank you, bro.

I've been celebrating that motherfucker ever since. They got out, so the way, I'm saying the way we are, they got all that nice food over there, we're in the order wings wings

Just we used to give me a third. Oh, yeah third quarter last call right right third quarter last call Hey, man, let me get a chicken wings and chicken fingers man some fries man Keep the change right? Is that the Cavs arena you're ordering? They do every arena? We don't know no no wings good. I'm gonna have a special wing spot in the arena like I can clean so they come in a buddy ordering from today come in the ball boy boy boy boy and I was north that's what it sound like hey give me all boys and wings chicken wing or chicken nuggets whatever or if you're here the money you pay the ball boys to go to Morton's or go to ball boys go to Morris right give me a couple dollars go

to Morton. Third quarter. We put our order in, so we have it in our. Get on the bus. Everybody like, man, what's this? Who got that? That's just Philly. Philly. Yeah.

Philly Steve's. Yeah. Yeah. That's what y'all be eating after the game. Who had the best wings in the NBA? That Cleveland Arena wings was dope. Very good wings in Cleveland. Yeah.

But as I said, until they start feeding, we played them three times in the playoffs. You guys have also talked about Mark Cuban providing some good food. That was Dallas. I mean, back then, you know, those are, those visiting rooms, it was like, because it was like the hockey, it was the hockey rooms, right? Yeah, like Dallas will give you barbecue. Yep. They started feeding you barbecue.

Yeah, that's what I said. They started feeding you later. They had a Dickies in the arena, I think. Oh, yeah, Dickies. You rolling with Dickies, Ken? No. I don't like chain. Dickies. That's what I'm saying. I don't like chain barbecue.

Very intelligent man. But back to Bomber, into a dome, trying to just change that stigma around the Clippers, the stench of Donald Sterling. Listen, I'm not, you know, billionaire. I don't know how they think, right? You know what I mean? Because if his arena's like this,

and there's, you know, a lot of owners that don't make as much as him... Broke boy owners, as we call them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if I'm him, I'll get a motherfucker some loans. Give out some loans with some, you know what I mean? You might need to upgrade your arena, and then the two billion right down there,

you know, just go ahead and dub it. Like, I will be throwing out a little bit of loans for some of these people that can't, like, you know, like Charlotte. Charlotte fucked up. Just throw away Charlotte. But look, though. Throw them away is crazy. Just throw the whole city away.

I don't know why it's a Charlotte, but look. What if you was the owner of Chicago, and you heard your player just talking like that? What'd you do? Tighten up. Because I can't do shit over here. That's what I'm saying. Try to tighten up.

I ain't got that kind of paper. He was going hard. That's why I said, hey, Chicago. He didn't say this was nice. He was really trying to. I ain't never seen no shit like this before. Yeah, that's why I said, hey, Chicago. He didn't say this was nice. He was really trying to. I ain't never seen no shit like this before. Yeah, that's why you was talking. Man, this is what the Clippers do.

My baby said it was way better than us. Shit, I wish that was real. You got money. Man, this visit to the locker room was better than our regular locker room. Man. That was Dallas. Some of the marinas, I mean, some of the locker rooms

better than that. I remember Some of the marinas. I mean, some of the locker rooms were better than that. I remember going to Gurg's. You ever been down to Chicago? His locker room was better than some of the NBA locker rooms. Shit, that's how I felt when we went to practice at the Aces facility for the first time. They let y'all practice there? They were like, what the hell?

See? Better not. They visit the locker room. Better not. Their facility is amazing. I was like, wow the hell? See? They visit the locker room, better not. Their facility is amazing. I was like, wow. They got somebody to care about them. But as a player, you see that, are you like,

ooh, I would love to play here? Fucking right. No, it's just like, what the hell? We got going on. We got to get our weight up on our side. We got this over here. You know, some of them, it fucks up your mood sometimes. Shit, you walk in, you go in, and I can see myself here.

Because the wheels, they feel that way. Hell yeah. I thought, yeah, I could walk in here, you go, I can see myself here. Because the Wizards did feed us that food. Yeah, shit, hell yeah. I thought, yeah, I can come in here and get some shots up. Because no one you've been dealing with can come to some nice shit. Yes, you come and see some nice shit. Y'all did not feed us, motherfucker. You're like, yeah. Trust me, because when I got with the Knicks. We did have food.

Hey, when I got with the Knicks, I realized I had been treated poorly as an NBA player. I had breakfast. Isn't that like a mind fuck? When I got with the New York Knicks, I realized I had been mistreated as a professional athlete. Isn't that like a mindfuck? When I got with the New York Knicks, I realized I had been mistreated as a professional athlete. Isn't that crazy?

And you don't even realize it until you go somewhere else. Hang on, we told you, bro. Nigga, we had breakfast. That shit was crazy. No, no, we had breakfast, then we kind of did, like, lunch too. Shit didn't change. Al Harrington got traded for Melo. When they came to Denver,

it was the first time that we had had a team meal when Al got there. Al Wilson, that trade, when they traded Miller, all the moves came. We got done with shoot around. Al was like, yo, where the food at? We was like, what food? Yeah, what food? He was like, they don't feed y'all?

He was like, no, they supposed to be giving y'all food. It's that and the third. So he said something. And from that point on, I went with the Knicks the next year. Other owners don't know what another owner's doing. When I got there, we had we had just breakfast, right? And, you know, we had to... I talked about that, like, yo, you know, it'd be good

because none of us really eat in the morning. We don't know what to eat, so if you had it for us, we can at least have one meal. When I went to Orlando... That's what I was going to say. When I went to the Clippers... I went from 218 to 234. I was indulging.

They had breakfast. Yeah. They had lunch. That's how I felt about the links. They had the photo game and after the game. I did not eat food when you got to the locker room. I didn't spend a dollar in a random food.

They had pasta in the locker room when you got to the locker room before the game if you wanted to eat something, if you got your work in. They had pasta and shit that you could eat before the game. They had a full-chef breakfast. And after practice. And then pregame. And then...

We had smoothies. I was like... Everything. Everything. There was no shortages with the Warriors. Lakers and Warriors. Yeah, Lakers and Warriors was like that. Yeah.

When you won a championship with the Warriors and gained the championship. I gained 20 pounds in that motherfucker shit. I Don't need to play Good job guys Pull up my Orlando picture dog watch This fat she's all just a big guy big guard Big guard. Big guard. All post-ups. No way, all post-ups.

I can't, hey, hey, hey, don't, let him go to the lane. He can't jump. Ain't no more one-four flat, is there? Turn, turn one. You're going to drop one. Shit. So, just talk a little bit about Lonzo. As you may remember, Lonzo Ball was drafted second overall by the Lakers back in 2017.

Could there be some interest in a reunion now that Lonzo is healthy? Well, here's what Lakers insider Yovan Buha thinks about that. See what I mean? Are there any playmakers out there that you view as a smaller swing? Like, let's say Colin Sexton, for example. Is there anybody in that boat that you think they're exploring? I think Lonzo is someone that's going to be on their radar and i think depending on the price if you could get him for a second or two seconds i think that's an interesting swing and also someone with that six foot six uh frame that could potentially i think be similar to bruce brown check a couple

boxes where uh you know he's bulked up a little bit throughout his career so he can guard i think twos and even some smaller threes and potentially be part of like a one through three switching scheme and then offensively i think especially if you're just coming off the bench as a secondary ball handler playmaker and also a spot-up shooter like i think he is someone who's an interesting gamble for them uh so i would look at kind of the hybrid guys, like a Bruce Brown or Alonzo Ball, or a couple guys that I've reported on that have been linked to them, having Colin Sexton and Malcolm Brogdon. So what team is this for?

Yohan Buhai is a Lakers reporter. He also said that the Lakers aren't trying to take a big swing, make it a lower- level move made before the devil Oh, no, we got his low-level move Fuckers it talking about a whole team is low level I'm just high level They see see fucking LeBron man now mad They see him do this this extra this extra creative shit, and they think he's 23 still.

They be seeing all he jump and dunk on somebody. They see him do these things, and then they just, oh, LeBron's back. No, fuck, wait, hold on, relax. Like, I don't give a fuck. Listen, if we only have six players, I'm fine, okay? If you got to trade the whole bench for Zach Levine, do it. We need a Zach Levine. We don't need a Beaumont.

We don't need two second round picks. We don't need, we don't need, I don't give a fuck. We don't need no more no names. Unless it's Mello. Okay? We don't want no ball but Mello. Like, I'm done. I'm done with these motherfucker half-baked type players coming on the team just putting on the Laker jerseys

fake Like I don't want I want to Make youngs and you need my own need But like yeah, cuz why are they trying to like say they that he need they need a swing low or what did they call? A small swing like they need it like the Lakers need help say that they need a swing low? Or what do they call it? A small swing? Like, the Lakers need help. Help. Help.

They need big swings. We need what? They need a big swing. Tom, we need a Draymond swing. Goddammit, we need to knock some shit out the park. What's Draymond going to do to put a Laker? No, no, no, no. I said we need a Draymond swing.

We don't need a low swing. We need a high. We need to knock some shit out the park. Put a nigga to sleep. Yeah, like, why are they? No. They need a big swing. Huh? A Zach Lev a low swing. We need a high. We need to knock some shit out the park. Put a nigga to sleep on the track. Yeah, like, why are they, you know, they need a big swing. Huh? A Zach Levine size swing.

Yeah, we need a big swing, yeah. If they're going to make a swing. Back to Lonzo for just a moment. Everybody on that damn thing. You would consider Lonzo a small swing just because he's been hurt? I think because the injury can get him for a little bit less assets, like Boo Ha said, potentially two seconds. I wouldn't put him in the same category as Colin Sykes.

I think you have to include somebody else with it. Sets him better, you know what I'm saying? We need someone that can put the ball in the basket for it. We need someone that can take over being the number one option. I've been a Lazo Ball fan, so I'm convinced. We need a guard who can guarantee us about 22, 23. That's what we need. There's a guard in the Bay Area who I think could do that.

Light-skinned, he would look great in Ladera Heights. Oh, brother. I ain't going to never have him. I said swing like Draymond, God damn it, not like Tyson. Okay. That punch was a little Tyson. In the 90s. A little Tyson.

A little killer. Not that Tyson. But you're right, you Tyson. A little killer. Not that Tyson. But you're right. You know what? I did say swing like Jordan. Yeah, because, yeah. I mean, Jordan. I pulled out and picked him up and said, you good?

Can you hear me? I picked him up and said, you good? Legs and shit were wobbling. All right. Well, one more thing we got to talk about. Fail back. Talk about your guys' favorite city. So shortly after Christmas, the Kings fired head coach Mike Brown

after he had run practice and spoken to the media that day. What kind of shit is that? All right, now you're done. They were in the midst of a five-game losing streak at the time, but firing the 2023 coach of the year was certainly unexpected as Brown helped the Kings end their 16-season playoff drought with his two playoff wins being the second most in franchise history. Fiery got him.

Fiery was met with a lot of criticism, particularly from other coaches, like former Kings current Nuggets coach Mike Malone, who spoke out in defense of Brown's winning record of 111-89 while he was with the Kings. Nonetheless, Kings promoted Doug Christie to interim head coach and have gone 10-2 since, including a seven-game win streak in that time frame. Three of those wins were without De'Aaron Fox, including a big win against the Celtics in Boston recently.

And after beating the Warriors Wednesday, Kings are now 23-20 this season, seventh in the West. Is the Kings' recent success under Doug Christie something or nothing? Something. Yeah. But I feel like when you get a coach fired, if the new, if you guys don't tighten up under the new coach, then they gonna start looking at y'all.

Like, what y'all doing? Exactly. So I feel like... And they have tightened up. You gotta tighten up a little bit or they gonna start looking at the team and be like, all right, maybe it wasn't the coach, it was y'all. I think it's dope they gave Doug Christie a chance. they gonna start looking at the team and be like, all right, maybe it wasn't the coach, it was y'all. I think it's dope they gave Doug Christie a chance.

And they're winning with it. Yeah, and they win with it. I think it was kind of pre-planned. We all know they was underachieving. We all thought they were underachieving. So with the talent that they have, with the starters and the pitch that they put together, unfortunate Mike Brown had to lose his job.

But shout out to Doug Christie for getting them dudes to play. Like, and buying into what he's preaching. I don't know what's different. But, because I'm not watching any Kings games. You're not supporting the city of Sacramento? I didn't say that. Like the B? Like the Bean? I said the Bean. Their franchise, their basketball franchise.

Y'all remember... Unless they playing Philadelphia. Okay. Y'all remember Sacramento was mad at me, right? Still mad at you. The entire city? I think Kenya got lumped in there. He wasn't even on the march.

Well, you talked about their city, even though they have seven Chili's in their metropolitan area, Gil. You still have some... Not a brand. Inflammatory things to say. I mean, I just reiterated that something was wrote by the Sacramento Bee. And then they got mad.

I think you also talked about the quality of work that they had. No, it's not what I said about Sac. It was some Sacramento. That's staying on the business. What a Sacramentarian wrote about his own city. Sacramentarian. Sacramentarian. But what did he say? What did he say?

He said this. Add that to the Gild dictionary, please. Or in America. That's what he wrote. Oh, ugliest people in the world. That's what he wrote, yeah. But. Someone wrote that?

Yeah, somebody actually wrote that. It was an article. Yeah, it was, yeah. I don't know how they did that article. Those funny articles are right. What do they look like? When do I get to say I was right about the situation in fact? Like, if Damara was here, we would be better.

Like, you're there, and that's your record. And if he was here, we would appreciate you because now you get to do what you do. So making that move, and I say, I'm mad. I don't like that move. Well, Kings 23 and 20 right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lakers 23 and 18 right now. So 23 and what?

18. The Lakers are. The Kings are 23 and 20. 23 and 20. And they've been in the same situation. And they was in what place two years ago? Who, Sacramento? Yeah.

Two, right? Two, right? Two, right? So this move. There are three, I believe. Three. This move should have put them in a, and then I challenged it because I didn't think, I think we needed them more.

And we're with nobody. We're in front of them still, and they got a max player. Give them a little more time, Gil. Give them a little more time. They. Give him a little more time. We still have three max players. We still have Austin Reeves, arguably the best third option. They got three max players.

That one max should have been here. That we should have had DeRozan here so he can help us get the 2025 champ. Nah. Championship. Now, you know, now it's just a little harder. DeLuz and Ole Laker can't... I don't know if that fit.

It would have been like the same situation, you know what I'm saying? No, mid-range, throw to him, let him do his little... Yeah. You know it's not just a little harder He had it wrong the pass first guy but I think you have some inflammatory things to say about just the city in general. What did I say about the city? That you weren't necessarily a fan of the city. Y'all said Nier and Fox would need to locate some bigger market if you wanted to. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We need to get Nier and Fox.

So as of right now, am I wrong or right? He's not a ball stopper. I just want to know. I don't give a fuck about the feelings. Was I right or was I wrong? Y'all keep saying that. It's going to be second. God don't give him too much time, Gil.

In Charlotte, in LA. All I'm saying is, was I right? Am I right so far or am I wrong? Right? There's going to be... That he would be better on the Lakers versus the Kings? No, I said he would be bigger. Like, last year, if you looked at his numbers compared to some of the people who made it,

and his team was higher, he didn't make the All-NBA. And it says more because your name in that city. It just doesn't, it's not a big city. Like, yeah, you get more viewership from social media, but that's still not how the world works. That's not how marketing works. That's not how marketing works. That's not how TV deals work. You know, like, there's no TV deal. How many... Cleveland's number one, right?

As in what? Their number one team. Oh, yeah. OKC's number one team, too. How many extra, besides what they sold, how many extra TNT games or ESPN games did they get added because of their record? None. That's cool.

Zero. Right? And you know when a motherfucking team gets hot, they start adding some shit. Only when you're in the big market. They don't add no shit, as we can see, to small markets. So, Kings, I think, 12 national TV games this season, including NBA TV. Let me check the Thunder for you Just got changed

Thunder got 25 including in the ATV. I think it might have bumped up a little bit obviously with this recently they had just changed Now he's up for his deal he needs a max deal to sign a max money and my mouse, I don't know. So now he's up for his deal. He needs a max deal to sign the max money. I don't want him. I don't want him to meet all NBA teams so I can afford him. Save some breath. Kawhi's Cup is harder to watch a Laker game than the fucking Sacramento Kings. Spectrum hard

as hell. Spectrum very easy if you have the appropriate cable package. Stream East. Stream East. Shout out Spectrum. No way, Sac cable package. Streamies. Streamies. Shout-out Spectrum. No way, Zach, to... Streamies? Streamies.

I'm using somebody else's. You're giving away too much info. Oh, you didn't hear that. Thank you. You guys' mics are on, so no matter how quiet you talk, you're talking right into your mic. Even if you whisper, they can hear you.

If you can hum, you can hear. That's what we like to call it. Where's my picture to sign at? I thought they were going to... Yeah, we... Nobody know you, my Nick. Nobody know you, Nick, man. You already said it.

I don't be deal. You nobody, like you said it, man. Damn, I'm a player. You go places nobody ask you for autographs, man. Don't change your name. We did have... Damn. We did have some fans pull up to the ring.

I don't even have a fan pull up. My fan was here. You did get to pass Gil's photo to him. And that was a real fan. Your neighbor. We did have we did have your biggest fan on the show recently. That was his neighbor, dawg. That was his neighbor. No, no, no, no, no. Even if it was, his license plate says Swaggy G. Tell him! License plate says Swaggy G. I don't see no Asian. I was following him out the gate. I don't see no Asian nothing.

Asian Z. Asian G. See, none of that shit. I got tattoos, bro. You acting like you wasn't a Ralphie, brother. Asian zero across the net. Why you got it? A dude walked up and said my name.

Wow, that's crazy. I know. We moving a little different, huh? Reclaiming dudes. So Doug Christie, King's 13th head coach in the past 19 years. Throw away King's, let's throw the whole Sacramento away. They don't even need to be here. Okay, who's, what city's on your throwaway list, Nick?

Our state's capital. Charlotte, let's throw the whole Charlotte away. You could throw Sac. Because the only thing good about Sac is they got an in and out. And that's when I know I'm back on the West Coast. I said, damn, it's in and out here. So, all right. They also have seven children.

I mean, Detroit. Detroit, you could throw that whole shit away. Nobody watched them. These are Nick's words, not the rest of the arena people of Detroit. Okay, who else was about it? I would have said Indiana before they made the thing last year, so they kind of made themselves back. They could go to now, because Hallenberg,

I don't know what the hell he's doing this year, so you could throw the whole Indiana away. All right, let's stop at five. Because he goes to half the damn league. Damn, who is it? so you can throw the whole Indiana away. All right, let's stop at five. And one more, one more. Damn, who is it? Is it, um? All right, let's just see the captain. And the Wizards, man.

We got to throw Wizards. Nobody talk about the Wizards. This is a big city. But nobody talk about them. You can't throw away the Wizards. Like, Indiana got the smallest arena. Shit damn near. Kind of like college.

It's like a college arena. Mm. The Hoosiers state. The only thing that's better, the best thing about Indiana was Trump. It was cool when the Hoosiers was going and that was nice, you know, nice little college town. It's about home court advantage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there ain't no market. Oh, hey, we're talking. You played the playoff game in there? I forgot. You played the playoff game? My bad, see? There's a lot of people in there. But usually the small city's like. They shake it loud. And they know mark. Oh I forgot my bad. See here usually smart the small city They winning you can't throw away now

Mark, it's great. You should be the same way. It should put it out in that big team in Vegas They should put a team in San Diego The header team was called the Clippers. Because of LA, I would put another team in Texas before I keep one in, you know, Memphis. If I'm in Memphis, I'll go to Tennessee. Or Nashville. You go to Nashville. If you were in Memphis, you would go to Tennessee.

You are currently located. If I was already a Tennessee guy, would that go to Tennessee again? What other... What other... Florida? No. Put that in the GIL dictionary, too. Orlando. No, no, no, no.

Put that in the DIL dictionary, too. If I was in Memphis, I'd go to Tennessee. The calories... I'll put one in Baltimore. Huh? Hell no. You got one in New York? I don't know if I'll put another one in New York? I don't know if I put another one in Philly. They won't last. No, I'm just talking about two teams in Philly.

Two teams in Philly? In some of them small markets out here. Did you just say you'd put a team in Baltimore? Like, huh? The Baltimore Bullets was... Baltimore Bullets? That would go together. Would you move the Wizards to Baltimore or you would leave the Wizards?

I'd keep the Wizards. No, that's too much. That was their name? We got the Ravens and the Commanders. The Clippers and the Lakers. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much.

That's too much. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much. Would you go to Baltimore or you would leave the Wizards? I'd give the Wizards. No, that's too much. That was a name. We got the Ravens and the Commanders. The Clippers and the Lakers. This is a big city.

Brooklyn Knicks. Baltimore is big as Inglewood. You do know it's a city, right? You do know Baltimore is a city, not a state, right? Hold on. Like Baltimore Ravens and Redskins. Like they is two different. Watch the commanders commander.

Red commanders. Red commanders. Like that's what it's its own people. Right neither one fuck with each other. So you can you can put one in Baltimore and they're going to have their own family. But you know where they came from though right. They wasn't originally from though, right?

They wasn't originally from there. Who? Who? The Baltimore Ravens. Colts. They were from where? Colts originally? Where did it come from?

Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns. Oh, that was the Cleveland Browns team. Cleveland? Yeah, that was the Cleveland Browns team. It moves. The Rams came from Cleveland. The Rams came from the same location.

The Rams came from Cleveland. It was the Cleveland Ravens? The Rams, the original Art The Rams came from Cleveland. The Rams, our Rams came originally from Cleveland. Wait, how come so many teams have come from Cleveland?

Wait, how do so many teams, you get moved with the hood? A team moved out of Cleveland and they put it back and then they moved them again and put it back? They came from Cleveland. They were called the Cleveland Rams. A team moved out of Cleveland, they put it back, and then they moved them again and put them back? That era. They came from Cleveland. You are correct.

They were called the Cleveland Rams. Well... Wait, wait, wait. Yes. Baltimore Ravens came from Cleveland? Yes, they were from Cleveland. They had a two-foot bucket. He picked up in the middle of the night,

packed the trucks up, and motherfucking moved the team to goddamn Baltimore. That's some fucked up shit. All right, I don't want to kill with it. Then they put another team in Cleveland. The cult started in Baltimore before moving to Indianapolis. So everybody think I'm lying. Type in Cleveland Rams. The Cleveland Rams, that's where they started.

That's where the franchise started. Listen, I look up shit that I don't know that just... They started with the Rams. And then they came to L.A. Became the L.A. Rams. Then they went to St. Louis. And then they came back. But they originally...

The original team. They were black and red. Damn. But no, no. I don't want to seem crazy. So they were the Cleveland Ravens? No, the Cleveland Rams. Cleveland Rams.

No, you said the Ravens came from there too, though. No, they just... It was the Browns. It was the Browns. The Penguins! I don't remember... And then they made a new like that. Yeah.

Yeah, it was the Cleveland Browns. They brought the Cleveland Browns back. And then they went to Ravens. The city wouldn't help Art Modell with the stadium, but he threatened to leave Baltimore and promised to the stadium, took the team and left the Baltimore. Got it. They hated him for it. Baltimore promised to the stadium, took the team, and left the Baltimore. No, no. They hated him for it. They got to keep the name and colors. And we got the Browns now is really the expansion team.

Yeah. So Cleveland Browns' original color was the Ravens' color? No, the color that it is now. Oh, they got to keep it. They wanted to keep the name and the colors in the city. Okay. So that's why the Baltimore Ravens are the colors they are. Because if they would have allowed him to take it...

Shit, their shit way cooler than the people Browns. Baltimore Ravens way cooler. They should have been. That's disgusting. That's disgusting. I like the Ravens better. Yeah, Baltimore Ravens, they're all everywhere. The Baltimore Browns are nasty.

Yeah, that would be nasty. That's why I like You think you think someone wrote Vancouver you think like They should expand a football team over there. No, no Football just keep us to make us go out there. They should be there's just something to Not key. They gotta suffer to goddamn it. Take your ass across that border. It's too cold up there for that shit. All of the domestic abusive charges you motherfuckers got, yeah, y'all gonna be stuck in here for a while, shit.

Wow. For a Sunday game, y'all gonna have to leave on Wednesday. You really acting like Lil D-Lo right now. I told you I got the D-Lo spirit, motherfucker. I got the D-Lo spirit. Little D-Lo. All right, well, let's move on to Mostly Fans. Presented by Underdog.

Download that if you promote. Go get the $1,000 in bonus cash plus a special pick-em. Little dealer. Holy shit, you put me through. I saved you a couple times, too. So we've got a. Especially when you ain't had no teeth that day and you left her in the room.

Truthless gift. I was the one that had to tell her, look, man, he ain't coming back. He's not coming back. He's not going to be. Will you either stay or leave? Did she stay or leave? Only fans. Okay, that's an only fans question.

All right, we got a video question from underdog user OddPB. Which record is most likely to remain unbeaten? The John Stockton assist record, LeBron's eight straight finals, or Klay Thompson's 37 and a quarter? What was the question? So which of these records is most likely to remain unbeaten?

John Stockton assist record, LeBron's eight straight finals, or Klay's 37 points and a quarter? Eight straight finals. Our producers just wanted you to know that technically Bill Russell made 10 straight finals, but we can shift it to modern, the modern NBA. Is that so Jimmy's to bring? You just like roll away like that? Yeah, I we can shift it to modern, the modern NBA. Is that so, Jimmy? You just, like, roll away like that? I just want to be able to see how it looks.

I'm going to say John Stockton. Stockton assists record. I'm going to say John Stockton, too. I'm going to say the 37 and a quarter. Clay, 37. You don't think the current NBA with all the scoring that's going on, somebody can get 37 and a quarter? Nah, I don't think so.

Both of them are hard. I don't think they shoot that good. Oh, eight straight? I mean, probably nine. Both of those are hard. Yeah, those are. But 37 points in the quarter? About 15,000.

That could happen. Who's the close? Who's second? What, in the quarter? No, assists. What's the second most points scored in the quarter? Close to that. Melo got 33.

That's going to be broken first before the other two. Melo got 33. Man. So all-time assists leaders right now, you got John Stockton in the first place at fifteen thousand eight hundred and six Chris Paul second place twelve thousand two hundred thirty two so he need to play but where those assists real or fugazi We don't know we got to see the video. I mean Joker got hit break that Not break that record, but who's behind Chris Paul Jason kid has 12 Behind Chris Paul that is actively playing Oh

LeBron that mo James senior 11,000 the way the game is played now this bro. Yeah, okay No, you do y'all do realize this man like played basketball for like eight straight seasons John stock is so so he got 17 straight seasons of 82 games. So, yeah, that alone. I don't mean to disrespect you. That alone is making it unbreakable. That would never be broken either. How many is his?

And then he played the 50-game season. He played all those games. Yeah, more than 10 is this? Each season? Like 15? Damn, that's a good question. That's a real, well, 37 you want three games in three days? 9 10 we work in 10 plus seasons of trouble. I'm gonna work That's like the LeQuinn Dickie mining company. No listen. Yeah, I mean he put because he played because he plays so many

What he only missed was seven games his whole career? Something like that? He played 1,500 games, only missed about seven. But I don't think it's easier to get assists now. He only missed seven games in 20 years. It can be easier, but you got to be out there

to do it. Yeah. I don't know. Think about it. You played 20 years. He's only missed seven games. That means you cannot miss no games.

And you got to average, what, how many assists? But, like, where's Luka at right now? He's not close. In the neighborhood. He averaged 10 assists for his career, only missing seven games. For 20 years. Yeah. That's impossible.

Luka only plays 60 games a year. Like, he can't... There's no way in hell he can even get close to it. But you got guys that's averaging, like, 13 assists. He averaged 14 for 10 years. Like, this is it. 13.8, 13.6, 14.5, 14.7, 12, 12. 13 assists for the next 20 years.

For the next 20 and not miss no games. And miss no games. So we're going to say Stockton's assist record. He played 20 games. Yeah, and if we have to put it in order, assist record finals. And playoffs. He only played 10 games. He played 20 years.

As a starter, I'm talking about. What I'm saying, he played 30 years. I mean, and he's only he plays 16 games 16 years all 82 games. Yeah One year 78 games 20 miss he only missed for that you I thought I said eight years. Oh, so many years We asked each other. I was like eight years of that. We asked the chat. I was a straight years. Oh We asked the chat which No, that was eight straight years. Oh, okay. We asked the chat which record will remain unbeaten. John Stockton's assist record got 49% of the vote. LeBron's A-straight finals got 38%. Klay's 37-point quarter got 14%.

So we got one more question. Yeah, that should have gone. That should have gone soon. So our next question from underdog user Birdman500. Who you got in the NFL games this weekend and who will score the first TD in each game? Who was even playing? Who you got in the conference championship game this weekend?

Saquon Barkley. Oh, man. So who are you going to win in commanders? That other team. The other team. So Kenya going with the Eagles. First TD will go to? Saquon.

Saquon, That's Barkley. And what about Bill's Chiefs, Kenya? Chiefs at the crib. So Chiefs at the crib. As the request for three straight Super Bowls. And I'm gonna... first touchdown, Isaiah Pacheco. Pacheco to put the first touchdown.

That is Kenya's pick. Let's move over to Lexi. You can just pick teams, Lexi. I was, hey, I was right about the Commanders. You were absolutely right about selecting the Commanders. I was right about the Commanders. Hey, I'm good. Wait, who's playing it?

And Jalen Hurts is going to score the first touchdown. Okay. I feel like that Philly chef who shit it all, he's just going to run it in. The brotherly chef. And I'm going going Josh Allen.
